Cannot invoke some external programs from a cgi program

           Summary: Cannot invoke some external programs from a cgi program
           Product: Apache httpd-1.3
           Version: 1.3.27
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_cgi
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


I want to let users download their zipped user directory.
If I write a CGI script in C that calls the tar program (system("tar -cf 
blahblah.tar blahblah") or something alike) it doesn't work. I don't get an 
error message displayed in the browser and I don't see anything unusual in the 
error log (report mode = debug). If I run the same program from the command 
line, it works fine. 

If I try to call a test program from my CGI script, that works. 

If I try to do the same under linux (mandrake 9.0), it works perfectly.

I've tried this also with version 2.0 and that doesn't work either. 

What do I have to do to get this to work?
