Hi everyone,
I have a perl cgi program that gathers information
from a web page. It processes that information and then it inserts it
into an
Oracle database. The next step I am trying to do is write that
information into
a user's directory. I am trying to do the following:
open(FH, ">>$hispath") || die $!;
and I always get the error message that says:
Permission denied at /home/httpd/cgi-bin/process123.cgi line 363.
I have changed the permissions on the user's directory to read line
this:
ls -l
drwxrw-rw- hisdirnamehere
How can I solve this problem?
Thank you very much.

Yep, it blew up for me too, using NS 4.5 on a Win98 box. I
won't even bother to try my Linux box.
Dish's attitude is incredible on this. With literally MILLIONS
of web pages out there, they are one of the few sites that
haven't figured out how to work around Netscape's well known and
well documented bugs.

Doesn't apache usually report an error into the rror-log saying
something like "premature end of script" in this case?

Hello,
I am using RH6.1 with BASH shell
I would like to set my linux box to automaticaly send out an e-
mail with the machines ip address when it dials up. I am trying
to write a script for mailto, that looks like this at the moment:
mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] -s "dialup"
Not so great so far. I can't seem to run mailto as a script
without it promting for the message, which I would like to
include with a call to 'ifconfig' or 'route' (I guess).
The next step is to send the mail when it dials up....
I would appreciate any help
Thank you

able to do this, so i tried to do it with fdisk under linux. As type I told
fdisk to make it a WindowsFAT32. But under Windows i am not able to use

One piece of advice that served me very well when struggling with a Debian
2.0 install: when "dselect" comes up for the first time, don't try to do all
your system configging then. At most make two or three changes, e.g.
add/remove emacs to your taste and add anything you absolutely need to
finish the install, but otherwise just let it do its thing and only after
the install is complete go back and use dselect (or perhaps dpkg or apt)
to make everything as you like it.
This may be obsolete advice, but at least it used to be that dselect would
bomb out if asked to do to much during first installation for some reason.

Not quite sure what you are trying to do here. A pipe usually closes at
EOF, but a fifo can remain open indefinitely. I am not even sure if
sending EOF (Ctrl-D) to a fifo would make prog1 close unless it is set up
to recognoze that.
You could write prog1 to recognize a certain string as a command to close.
You don't say what these prog's are, but if you type 'perldoc perlipc' in
any console or xterm you may get some insight or at least something to
test it with.

The problem is tht you are using the name option. It requires root

You are using the name option on the pppd command line somewhere. you do

Does your local smtp server work (sendmail or whatever?). If that does
not work, then 'mailto' is not going to. Also if used in a script, mailto
may not be in your path, so try /usr/bin/mailto. This works for me:
/sbin/ifconfig | /usr/bin/mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] -s "My IP"

route -n would not tell you your local IP, only the remote.
>The next step is to send the mail when it dials up....
Do that from /etc/ppp/ip-up.local, but note that it is run with minimal
environment, so set your PATH or use full paths. (arg $4 in ip-up.local
is your local IP):
echo "$4" | /usr/bin/mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] -s "My home IP"
That at least works for me from the command line using a different env
variable (and my real address).

Hmm, i just gave it a shot.
If you created a small script like the following:
#/bin/bash
ifconfig eth0 | grep inet | awk '{print $2}' > foo
mail usernam < foo
rm -f foo
named get_address, and then had your pppon (or whatever script dials up)
execute this when it is connected, then this might work...

Windows can only use 1 primary partition on a drive. All other FAT
partitions must be logical partitions in an extended partition. Linux and
FAT32 logical partitions can coexist in the same extended partition as
long as the Id type is correct. Note that FAT32 partitions larger than 8G
may be type 'c'. This is an example of the 9G drive on my laptop (I put
swap after / so I can change swap size easily when adding RAM):

Whenever I try writing to my Iomega 3200 tape drive, I get an error
similar to the following;
Cannot open /dev/qft0: Read-only file system
(I have also used /dev/ftape and /dev/nqft0)
I can rewind the tape, forward the tape, and read the contents of the
tape, but I can't write to it. And no, the write protect thingy on the
tape isn't "on". But the fact I can move the tape leads me to believe that
at least I installed everything correctly, and the system can see it. I am
using RedHat 6.0 with a 2.2.14 kernel and ftape-4.x-1999_09_11, which I
know is unstable, but is the only one that will work with kernel 2.2.14. I
also installed ftape-tools-1.07.
It doesn't seem like many people answer ftape questions, because I see a
lot of previously asked questions have gone unanswered, but I am hoping
someone can help me. I am up to my ears in How-To's and FAQ's. And my boss
is starting to think I am an idiot.

you can repeat XF86setup or you can be hardcore and use vi to edit
/etc/X11/XF86Config

There is a specific utility, called (surprisingly enough) html2text. This
takes in html from a URL, file or stdin and output to stdout or a file.
Sounds ideal for what you want. It comes as standard in SuSE 6.3.

Usually sndconfig can set up your sound module for you.
There is a new LILO that can boot beyond cyl 1024, but I have not tried it
yet. Until then it would be wise to have a primary /boot partition (16
meg) entirely below cyl 1024 with the kernel and LILO on it (so Windows
can mess with the MBR without messing you up). Then you simply use
Windows FDISK or Linux fdisk to make your /boot partition the active boot
partition.
You can also make a bootable floppy with a compiled kernel by simply using
cp to copy the vmlinuz or bzImage to an unmounted floppy:
cp /boot/vmlinuz /dev/fd0

...a server just like that? Would i be visible to the online world? What
about limiting this 'exposure' or access to just me, from my work PC? Is
there a way to do that?
