You and me both.  =)  On both accounts... I really would like to know what
caused my system to die like that...

   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?
  
  Nope couldn't log in at all.  No user's other than root had permissions to

  reinstall and now it works fine, but I was getting nowhere with the server

That's really wierd, John.  The cooker list comes in fine, but expert was
really empty yesterday...  haven't had a chance to look yet today so
hopefully it was a minor burp and nothing more.

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
problem.

It looks like a SuExec problem. Either remove apache-suexec or chown
nobody.nobody these files.

Give me some news!

 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!

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:

[2000-04-17 08:22:25]: too few arguments

listed twice (different timestamps tho).  Any idea if that might be
linked?  Mind you, with apache-suexec gone now, it shouldn't matter...

As of right now, still doesn't work.  Can't run CGI scripts or SSI exec

 I think I found the problem, but I'm unsure of how to fix it.  Maybe you
 can help me with it...
 
 When I try to su nobody, I get /bin/sh permission denied.  I think that's
 the source of my problem.  On this machine I can su to nobody just fine,
 but not on the server.  I don't even know where to begin looking for
 permissions for user nobody and why it can't use /bin/sh or
 /bin/bash.  Permissions on directories and files between both computers
 are identical.
 
 Any ideas on how I can fix this?  I don't think it's a problem with apache
 anymore... I'm sure it's the user that is the problem, but for the life of
 me I can't figure out why it was working yesterday and it isn't today
 (unless installing ircd had something to do with it...)
