TROUBLESHOOTING CGI SCRIPTS

FYI Networks runs CGI scripts through the Apache SuExec wrapper. This means that cgi scripts are run as the user who own's them. This allows the added security of knowing that a corrupt script from another user cannot damage your own data. Because the scripts are run as your FYI user, there are several checks that are done before our web server will run your script. They are:

  • The script must be writeable by only the user running the script (permissions 755 or better)
  • The parent directory must be owned by the same user and group that owns the script
  • The parent directory must be writeable by only the user who own's the script. (permissions 755 or better).
