Setting environment, in case you don't remember, is done with %ENV, and system() looks like the way to go from there.

Not sure what your trying to do, but Koha is no CMS. Creating a new page is not a process that is easily explainable other than to say, study an existing page. Perhaps if we know what you are trying to do we may be able to give more direct assistance.

Hi Richard, My guest would be that the owner of your file is not koha:koha. A look to your log file may give you a hint (default: /var/log/koha/*).

Re: [Koha-devel] Creating New Pages in Koha - second request
Also, the new page .pl file has to have the read and execute file system permissions set so the web server can run it. Then, once the page does what you want, you have to look at the main page and side bar for that module and put a link to the page in those files. Good luck.
