Hello Alessandro Lenzen -
I tried that. The perl script with the "adduser" command is getting executed
if I execute it from the command prompt when I am logged in as "root", but
the same script script doesn't get executed from the browser. The web server
error_log file doesn't show any error description. Following is a sample
perl script:
---------- script starts -----------
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
print "content-type:text/plain";
print "adding new user...";
system("adduser test1");
print "added new user.";
---------- script ends -----------
The above script executes well when invoked from a command prompt and the
user test1 is created, but when I execute the same script from the browser,
it just prints - adding new user - and stops there. No user by the name of
test1 is created. Please note that each time the script gets executed
successfully, I change the user name and make it test1, test2, test3 and so
on. The path of the above script is as follows:
/home/httpd/cgi-bin/perl/adduser.pl and its file permissions are 755. Any
clue what went wrong? Thanks.
Kind regards.
KK
