Nope couldn't log in at all.  No user's other than root had permissions to
execute any shells.  Was very strange.  Ended up doing a complete
reinstall and now it works fine, but I was getting nowhere with the server

If you cannot "su" to another user, can you at least login into another
user (from the console of by ssh) and do you have error messages in
/var/log/messages?

That's really wierd, John.  The cooker list comes in fine, but expert was

Jean-Michel,

I haven't received but 2 posts in 24-hours. Normally I receive 100. Our
mail daemon just returned a message from me addressed to you
@NetRevolution with the comment .."user unknown"..

We're having alot of rain on the East Coast which may account for the

Tried chowning them, didn't work.  Same error.  Tried removing
apache-suexec and I get the same thing.  Even restarted apache, same
deal.  I did notice in my /var/log/httpd/suexec_log the following:

[expert] apache help needed!!!

2000-04-17 Thread Vincent Danen

I'm having some serious problems with apache and they just started
today...

In my error_log file I keep getting:

httpd: exec of /bin/sh failed, reason: Permission denied (errno = 13)

In a SSI file (banner.shtml).  It won't run any of my other CGI scripts
either, nor will PHP include statements work either.  Does anyone know
what might be going on here?  It was all working yesterday and now it
isn't and I haven't touched anything.  I'm extremely confused as to why
this won't work!

For the PHP3 includes, if it's a local file
(ie. include("/home/httpd/html/text/footer.txt");) it works fine, but if
it's something like include("http://bla.bla/whatever.php3"); it doesn't
work anymore.  I'm seriously confused here.  I think it's a permission
problem, but I don't understand why it hasn't happened before
then.  Everything is owned by root.root and the pages come up ok if I view
them by themselves, but as includes they don't work anymore.

I'm using the latest AES RPMs.  Help!
