The script does have a shebang line and it runs fine from the command line.
It also work it I run “pdns_server –daemon=no” I checked, and the VM does have SELinux, which was set to permissive mode by default. I disabled SELinux and rebooted. It didn’t help. Thanks for the suggestion, though. I didn’t know to check for that. -- Dan Campbell From: Brian Candler <b.cand...@pobox.com> Date: Thursday, January 21, 2021 at 2:07 PM To: "Dan Campbell - d...@us.ibm.com" <d...@us.ibm.com>, "pdns-users@mailman.powerdns.com" <pdns-users@mailman.powerdns.com> Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [Pdns-users] Pipebackend can't run backend On 21/01/2021 20:48, Dan Campbell - dan--- via Pdns-users wrote:...

The backend is a python script that runs from the command line, but pdns_server fails to start and give the following error: [PIPEBackend] Unable to launch, fatal argument error: Command '/home/webapps/dns/bin/backend.py' cannot be executed: Permission> Caught an exception instantiating a backend: Command '/home/webapps/dns/bin/backend.py' cannot be executed: Permission denied Cleaning up Distributor caught fatal exception: Command '/home/webapps/dns/bin/backend.py' cannot be executed: Permission denied The permissions on the script and all directories in the path are 755 … Any ideas about why pdns_server (running under the pdns id) does not have permissions to run a program with 755 permissions? If it has a shebang line and you can run it directly from the command line by typing "/home/webapps/dns/bin/backend.py", then my guess is that it's an SELinux or AppArmor thing. Being CentOS then it would be SELinux. Try switching SELinux into permissive mode and see if that makes it work. If it does, have fun tweaking SELinux policies :-) HTH, Brian.
