Hi all,

Running CFMX on Redhat 7.2, apache 1.3.x as per Macromedia recommendations.

I've a rather confusing problem concerning cfexecute and htmldoc.exe, a pdf
generating tool [1]. I'm using original codebase which worked perfectly on
my old windows configuration and simply modified the relevant paths to the
linux filesystem. I thought maybe it might be a permissions issue whereby
user apache doesnt have permissions to execute htmldoc, however I ran a
dummy test on netstat which behaved in exactly the same manner.

The templates concerned are being returned without error and no errors are
showing up in any of the logs. The name and argument attributes have been
checked and double checked to be correct and manually submitting the command
and arguments on the machine as root user works perfectly, thus I'm thinking
it may be a permissions problem with the apache user whom I believe is also
the cfmx user(?!?) If so, how do I configure apache user with permissions to
execute? Bear in mind I've already tried a chmod 777 on the htmldoc.exe
file.

The following is a short sample of my code for trying netstat.exe

<cfset parameters="-lpn">
<cfexecute name="/bin/netstat" arguments="#parameters#"></cfexecute>

TIA,
Dave
