Subject: Re: A couple of updates
I am really stuck on this. I just tried again and ran into the same dead ends.
Part of the problem is that I don't have permissions to see the error logs to truly find out what is going on. I've just written again to see if the kind of warnings I need can be logged to a separate error log file.
The general form of the problem is this:
There are two scripts; let's call them A and B. Script A is a CGI script. Script B is a separate, free-standing Perl program. A invokes B during A's execution.
This worked fine up until the sysadmins changed something back in August. Now, when A invokes B, B somehow fails to run.
It doesn't make sense, because the permissions should be fine. The "apache" user belongs to the same group which owns B (www-glp). B has its permissions set so that members of the same group can read and execute it (permissions 770). CGI script A can certainly open and read B as a data file and print its contents out to the web page, for example; I determined this.
All of the problem we're having are due to this general category of problem. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I'm really stuck.
