Hi All,
I've got a cute little PERL program named blahtest.pl as follows:
print ("Starting Script\n");
open (FILE,">confirmWritePrivileges.txt") or die ("Nope: $!\n");
print FILE ("See, I can write to files\n");
close FILE;
os.system ("echo blah > blahtest.txt");
print ("Completed script\n");
I'm currently running on IIS on Win2K
When I run from the command line, I get all of the 'start' and 'end' comments, and it
create two files:
'blahtest.txt' and 'confirmWritePriveleges.txt'
When I run the program through CGI (http://localhost/blahtest.pl), it does I get the
'start' and 'end'
comments and just the 'confirmWritePriveleges.txt'. but *NOT* the blahtest.txt .
Is there something about the CGI environment which won't let me run a system command
(I can obviously write
files ok)? .
Other things which I've already tried include:
* 'system ("arg");
* system ("cmd","arg");
* 'os.system'
* redirecting through a batch file, (i.e. calling a batch file to do this
command..
* backticks with `$cmd` where $cmd=echo blah > blahtest.txt ...
* Opening up all security options in IIS for read/write/execute etc,
* Setting file system userprivileges for IUSR_ComputerName to have
read/write/execute permissions for
the pertinent folders on this system
Any suggestions on what I should try next?
Thanks,
Mike
