cgi via web browser

censanian · 07-13-2007, 02:16 PM

i cant get perl scripts to execute out of a users public_html directory. the rights are all ok, 755 throughout. apache configed right to allow cgi execution. in a browser, im getting the "premature end of script headers" error 500. (yet the script runs fine via command line)... i see this error in the suexec.log

[2007-07-12 14:50:18]: uid: (1000/alumni) gid: (1000/1000) cmd: test.cgi
[2007-07-12 14:50:18]: target uid/gid (1000/1000) mismatch with directory (1000/1000) or program (1000/0)

im assuming this is honing in on my problem, but im not sure exectly what this means. can someone describe whats going on. the user im testing with has login of 'alumni' and its assigned UID is 1000. any help appreciated. thanks!

(its a sles 9.3 server)

I really don't know anything about this, but is there any chance that this:

Code:

target uid/gid (1000/1000) mismatch with directory (1000/1000) or program (1000/0)
                                                                                ^

means that the cgi script is in group root instead of in whatever group has gid 1000?
