Permission denied trying to execute shell commands from Perl/CGI on Apache.

23/08/2006, 14h23

Hi,

I just installed Apache and I am trying to call a script that should
output some stuff to my browser. I can't get this to work at all.

Simple script

#! /usr/bin/perl -w
print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
print `ls`;

The screen is blank. httpd logs indicate permission denied ...

[Tue Aug 22 14:54:32 2006] [error] [client 172.25.31.80] ls: .,
referer: http://salrhellog01/maillog/
[Tue Aug 22 14:54:32 2006] [error] [client 172.25.31.80] : Permission
denied, referer: http://host/log/

Any idea? The script works just fine locally, but not via the web. I
tried exec and system, same deal. User nobody has access to everything

it needs.

Hi oleg106,

Its not possible to give a one liner answer just looking at this post.
Many a information is missing here. However confirm if the apache user
is indeed "nobody" and not "apache" or similar thing, and this
directory holding the script has read execute permission properly
placed.
