 |
|
Hello,
I started a new Apache web server Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS) and trying to reuse old scripts. One of the scripts has to write a file on a server. I opened a directory under cgi-bin and gave all permissions.
drwxrwxr-x. 2 user user 6 May 29 2016 docx2regs
Still, the script give me "Permission denied" error when it attempts to write a file to it.
The same script is capable to write to the directory when I run it manually. I assume some definitions are missing from conf.httpd.
Help will be appreciated.
Thank you.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI qw(:standard);
use CGI::Carp qw(warningsToBrowser fatalsToBrowser);
use strict;
print header;
print start_html(-title => "Test");
print <<header2;
<center>
<h1> Hello
</center>
<hr>
header2
my $filename = "docx2regs/test.txt";
open(my $FILE, ">$filename");
if(-e $filename) {
print "$filename exists\n";
print $FILE "Hello\n";}
else {
print "$filename does not exist\n";}
close($FILE);
print end_html;
|
When I open the test.pl in browser I get "docx2regs/test.txt does not exist" message. When I run the test.pl in cgi-bin directory the file is created. |

| You can try to use the full path or start with ./ to refer to the current folder. |
