Perl system() call throws an error

[srkumar1986]

Hello,

I am back with another issue in cPanel-Perl Call.

My Perl Module function has some system() command to execute

below is a piece of code

my $command = "/root/letsencrypt/./certbot-auto certonly --standalone -n -d ". $domainname ." -w ". $webroot;

system ($command);

my code always ends with below error response which is from "error_log"

[2018-04-09 12:21:14 -0500] warn [Internal Warning while parsing unknown 13256] Can't exec "/root/letsencrypt/./certbot-auto": Permission denied at /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/API/CertificateDetails.pm line 80.

I think its very chilly mistake, but i couldn't able to find so far. Can anyone help to resolve this please.

Thanks in advance
Rajkumar

What user is running this perl script?

Does that user have access to execute /root/letsencrypt/./certbot-auto?

If the user running the perl script is an under-privileged user (i.e. not root) then they may not have access to /root/letsencrypt/./certbot-auto and you probably don't want them to have access to /root/letsencrypt/./certbot-auto.

Hello,

In addition to the information requested in the previous post, can you also let us know the permission and ownership values you've configured for the /root/letsencrypt/./certbot-auto file?

Thank you.

Thank you.

letsencrypt folder has 755 access rights and root ownership

Thank you.

Hello,

This seems more like an issue with the Perl code itself as opposed to a cPanel & WHM API function. I recommend troubleshooting this on a website where Perl coding itself is discussed (e.g. StackOverflow). Also, it looks like you are troubleshooting this particular topic on the following external URL:

Execute certbot-auto command using perl system command

Feel free to post the outcome here or let us know of any additional questions.

Thank you.

There is some access rights issues. i have tried to execute this plugin from another user which is running in root.

Now i am moving the cPanel plugin into WHM plugin.

Thank you.
