moved site to secondary drive, now getting errors on cgi scripts

[noimad1]

Hi,

I was running out of space on a drive, so I added another drive. I then used the "mv" command to move a sites /home/user" folder to "/home2/user".

I then made a ln -s /home2/user /home/user to point it to the new directory.

Everything is working fine except the cgi-bin. Nothing in there seems to work, but was working fine before the move.

I just get "premature end of script headers". I've checked all the permissions, users, everything. It was the "mv" command, so I'm sure it just moved them directly, so i wouldn't think it would be a binary/ascii issue...

Anyone else had this problem before?

bump...i really need help on this one if anyone has any ideas...

I've even tried going into my httpd.conf file and change the stanza for that domain to the /home2 directory....

mv them back and use Main >> Account Functions >> Rearrange Accounts

Correct, WebHost Manager enables you to change the location of an account at any time. This is usually used when the available disk space on a server is low and you need to move accounts to another partition or drive.

Ah man, I had no idea at all that was available....man, wish I would have known that before I moved this 8GB site!

Ok, so here's the deal. I moved the site back to the /home directory, and just for the heck of it, tried the cgi-bin. It was working fine.

I used the WHM tool to re-arrange the account to that drive, and guess what....cgi-bin isn't working now....

So it has to be something with the configuration...I just can't figure it out?

Ok...finally figured out the problem. Turns out the drive was mounted with noexec permissions....added the exec permissions and it worked right away!
