Hello Apache community, I am migrating our schools ERP system from HP-UX to Redhat.
We run a UniData database utilizing Apache to access our data through our intranet. All I am trying to do is migrate the system to the new OS, but I am having issues initializing the database through Apache. I have it configured to run as user www, and we are trying to execute a cgi script that is really very simple. It is setting a few environment variables, changing directory, and calling the database program. I have the httpd.conf set up to allow cgi execution, have mapped my script alias directory. I can execute cgi scripts fine, but when I try to call the UniData database I get the error "Error when getting SMM's shmid (errno=13)." I opened a case with Rocket (They own UniData) and they said... "errno=13 is coming from the Linux level and is a 'permissions denied' error. You may want to try what the user is trying as root, or check on the permissions of files they are trying to use" As you know I cannot run Apache as root, and when I call the cgi script from the command line as user www it works just fine, so I know it not permissions on the database files. Does anyone have any clues as to what I may need to change in my configuration? What would be different about being logged in as www at the command line and calling a script vs. running Apache as www and calling it through the intranet? Thank you in advance for any help any of you may have to offer! David C.
