Hi I have tried Python TCPIP sockets and Unix sockets processed in a python cgi
script, called from apache under fedora19. In both cases a permissions error is
returned at sock.connect(). I have tried changing permissions x and r w on ALL
of user, group, other to no avail. In both cases the cgi script runs if
directly executed from /var/www/cgi-bin with no apache involvement.
In both cases all the other (non sockets()) python cgi scripting works in
the apache server environment.
I note I needed to enable http in the ferora19 firewall to have the apache
server work from locahost or from another device connected to the router.
Please find the myUnix2.cgi socket script below. Help appreciated! Regards,
Stewart Lawton
