That's typically either a permsissions problem or can chdir to a directory. It might be that you have group write perms on a directory. Look at the suexec docs at what it goes through to before it will run a user's script. That might give you ideas where to look. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/suexec.html Look at "suEXEC Security Model". Another very useful trick is to run httpd -X (single process mode) and then use strace -- although I'm not sure if strace will follow the forks. You look for a failed system call and that's noramlly the problem. But it might be easier to try and follow the docs carefully. > I do not know how I got SuEXEC on there in the first place! > Does this come as part of the Debian package?

No you don't need to do that. -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
