I've looked at /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and it says the following about location of the error log: # ErrorLog: The location of the error log file. # If you do not specify an ErrorLog directive within a # container, error messages relating to that virtual host will be # logged here. If you *do* define an error logfile for a # container, that host's errors will be logged there and not here. # ErrorLog logs/error_log But when I look for files with the name error_log I don't see anything which looks like a (plain text) server error log file - and there is no such file in the /etc/httpd/logs directory. Where am I going wrong please? Andy ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

If so, the problem will show up in the audit logs: ausearch -c httpd -m avc In general, you'll want to 1. make sure the security context on the CGI script and the directory tree that contains it is httpd_sys_script_exec_t, and 2. make sure that no SELinux booleans are in the way, httpd_enable_cgi in particular: getsebool httpd_enable_cgi If it's set to "off," then you'll want to enable it: setsebool httpd_enable_cgi=1 -- Paul Heinlein <> [EMAIL PROTECTED] <> http://www.madboa.com/ ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Getting perl CGI programs to work on CentOS 5 server
I'm trying to get perl CGI programs to work from the cgi-bin (actually a sub-directory cgi-bin/various) and have set appropriate permissions using chmod 755. I'm currently testing using the simplest cgi program, you know the one: #!/usr/bin/perl # howdy--the easiest of CGI programs use CGI; print < Hello World Greetings, Terrans! END_of_Multiline_Text This has worked absolutely fine in the past, but now when I invoke it, either nothing appears in the browser (Mozilla Firefox) or I get "Internal Server Error" - any ideas please? Thanks, Andy ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
