CGI Script (error log) Thanks! I'm getting the following in my error log, any idea why and how could I fix it? suexec policy violation: see suexec log for more details, referer: http://www.mydomain.com/contact.html Premature end of script headers: feedback.pl, referer: http://www.mydomain.com/contact.html
/var/log/httpd/suexec.log Thanks catdude! Here's my suexec.log (/var/log/httpd/suexec.log) I'm not sure how to run feedback.pl from the command line? Could you guide me? Code: [2008-05-11 20:34:13]: uid: (10027/web5_user) gid: (10005/10005) cmd: feedback.pl [2008-05-11 20:34:13]: directory is writable by others: (/var/www/web5/cgi-bin) [2008-05-11 22:06:58]: uid: (10027/web5_user) gid: (10005/10005) cmd: feedback.pl [2008-05-11 22:06:58]: directory is writable by others: (/var/www/web5/cgi-bin) [2008-05-11 22:14:45]: uid: (10027/web5_user) gid: (10005/10005) cmd: feedback.pl [2008-05-11 22:14:45]: directory is writable by others: (/var/www/web5/cgi-bin) 0:34:13]: uid: (10027/web5_user) gid: (10005/10005) cmd: feedback.pl
Ok, that suggests your next step. What are the permissions on /var/www/web5/cgi-bin? Is it by any chance world writeable? If so, try changing the permissions to something like 755 or 775 (looks like mine at 775). To check whether this is it, after changing the permissions just run the script from the command line and see if reports the same error.
how to run pl file from command prompt Catdude i changed permissions to 775 and I get same result. How would I run PL file within terminal.
Does the script start with something like the following after the use ... lines? If not please try adding this.
Go into the appropriate directory: cd <ISPConfig user home dir>/mydomain.com/cgi-bin Once there, execute the file with: ./formail.pl If you have a permissions problem, this ought to cause an error message to come up on your screen. If everything is working properly, it ought to spit some HTML out on your screen.
The script is (formmail.pl) from Matt's Script Archive Hi Ben, this is actually formmail script from Matt's Script Archive. It does have print section. Code: # Print HTTP header and opening HTML tags. # print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "<html>\n <head>\n"; Any other suggestions??? Thanks!
catdude thank u When I run ./formmail.pl from terminal this is what I get bash: ./formmail.pl: /usr/bin/perl^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory thanks
It looks as if the formail.pl has been saved / uploaded with windows linebreaks. Please save the file again with unix linebreaks.
As a cheap and dirty quick fix, especially if all you have to convert is a single file, zip the file (with zip, not gzip or bzip) then unzip it with the "-a" flag. For example: zip 1.zip formail.pl unzip -a 1.zip rm 1.zip
I think I fixed linebreaks with zipping and unzippping the PL file. Now I'm getting this error in my suexec.log. When I run the script in firefox I get a blank page, when I run it in terminal entire script gets printer out. I tried to google error msg below with no luck or any helpful answers. [2008-05-24 10:34:47]: uid: (10005/web6_admin) gid: (10006/10006) cmd: formmail.pl [2008-05-24 10:34:47]: target uid/gid (10005/10006) mismatch with directory (10005/10006) or program (0/0)
Are you using suExec? Can you post the vhost configuration of that web site? To what owner and group does the formail.pl script belong?
