RE: mod_perl statistics on securityspace.com
Aside from being an interesting fact, how does this affect us? I mean, as mod_perl developers? I can't imagine that mod_perl will ever be the major "scripting" language since it, by nature, is unrestrictive. On a multi-user/multi-host server, I think I'd rather PHP be run than mod_perl, simply because I don't want sites stepping on each other's toes and have to worry about restarting httpd. I don't know. I don't see it overtaking less-powerful (more restrictive) languages, at least in numbers. Now, if these numbers are generated by looking at high-profile websites, then I'll buy the importance of the percentages. Regardless, thanks for the report. It was cool to see just how many servers have good admin's behind them :)
RE: User process ownership
Or if you really dont care about security maybe you could chmod 4755 the script, owned by root, to run as root. Just make sure that you clean all of the data you receive from the form. I kinda like the daemon idea that simran had. -Original Message- From: simran [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Alternatively, you can write a daemon that runs as root that you can connect to that can do this...
RE: CGI Scripts w/mod_perl
Try running "which perl" and use that path for your #!/usr/bin/perl line. Then rename your script as .cgi and see if that helps. Mark -Original Message-From: Christina [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Friday, July 26, 2002 9:32 AMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: CGI Scripts w/mod_perl Hi, I installed a CGI script last night, only to later realize the server is running mod_perl, instead of Perl. I have never worked with mod_perl before, so I'm wondering if this is why the script won't function on the server. The script calls for a change in the first line of the code in all .pl files if the path to perl is different from #!/usr/bin/perl, but I can't find anything in the server to indicate what the path should be using mod_perl. I am completely confused at this point so any guidance in the right direction would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Christina
