This is wonderful. Thanks. Your cgi script worked just fine. I put |
| 29 |
it in the same directory, |
| 30 |
called it 'cgi.perl', and made the permissions 755. It ran just fine. |
| 31 |
So I guess apache is fine. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Having something simple that works is a great help in figuring out |
| 34 |
what is actually broken. |
| 35 |
I've got a meeting to go to, so I'll have to get back to it. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
But this much I know: |
| 38 |
The permissions on the failing (python) script are the same. So are |
| 39 |
the owner and group. |
| 40 |
The python script runs fine from the command-line, even as an "other" user. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Next thing: I'll make a python version of your program and work up from there. |
