Hi Graeme,
..........
It might help if we had the permissions of the CGI file in question and
every directory above it, e.g. assuming it was the file `foo' then set f
to its full path from root and then run this while loop; "$" is my
shell's prompt.
$ f=/home/tmp/1348682210.641081587/foo
$
$ while [[ $f ]]; do ls -ld "$f"; f=${f%/*}; done; ls -ld /
-rw-r--r-- 1 ralph ralph 0 2012-09-26 19:01
/home/tmp/1348682210.641081587/foo
drwxr-xr-x 3 ralph ralph 4096 2012-09-26 19:01
/home/tmp/1348682210.641081587
drwxrwxrwt 190 root root 12288 2012-09-26 18:56 /home/tmp
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 2011-09-18 18:20 /home
drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 2012-09-03 13:55 /
$
Cheers, Ralph.
It must be some sort of permission problem. I executed the following
$ cd /var/www/cgi-bin
[graeme@handel cgi-bin]$ ./multimon.cgi
which produced a whole lot of HTML.
I put that into a file with .html suffix and opened it in Firefox and
got the expected display.
I tried to do the same with upsstats.cgi, and in the generated HTML I
found the line
<p><strong>Access to host 127.0.0.1 is not authorized.</strong></p>
The most recent line in the access log is
127.0.0.1 - - [28/Sep/2012:13:06:58 +0100] "GET
/var/www/cgi-bin/multimon.cgi HTTP/1.1" 404 226
There is no entry in the error log since 13:00 hrs yesterday.
Changing the permissions on /var/www/cgi-bin had no effect.
What bit of software processes a .cgi file?
Thanks for your interest,
Graeme
