RE: [cobalt-developers] CGIWrap Error: Execution of this script not permitted

["KAMRY" <kamry1888@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks a lot, it works great now.

Hence, to make the site works from both www.domain.com/~sub and
http://sub.domain.com then all what you need to do is to make that "sub"
user a "Site Administrator" from the GUI and make him the owner of all files
under his directory "sub" instead of giving those files the power of
admin... But I wasn't getting any where before your excellent comments...

Kal:

What I've found is that when you run the scripts under a user's web
directory, like www.domain.com/~sub, the owner of the scripts needs to be
that user.  If you're running the scripts under a virtual web site, the
owner needs to be "admin".  You can see who the owner of the scripts
currently are by switching into the cgi-bin directory via telnet (or
where-ever they are currently stored) and run "ls -al".  The left-most
column of names is the user that currently "owns" the scripts.

To change owners, run "su root" to switch to the root owner (same password
as admin), and then run "chown new_user_name *.cgi" where "new_user_name" is
either "sub" (in the example above) or "admin".  This particular command
will change all files that end with ".cgi" - if your scripts are named
something differently, change the "*.cgi" to whatever you need.  If you use
a simple asterisk "*", that will change the owners of everything in the
currently directory.

Now, what I think will happen is if you use "admin" as the owner, then
running the scripts under www.domain.com/~sub won't work; and if you use
"sub" as the owner then http://sub.domain.com won't work.  I've never tried
to set a script up to run under both types of URL.  My first guess is there
may be an owner that you can use for the scripts that would allow them to
run under both sites (something other than sub and admin).

Good luck!
