<0> hello
<0> need help
<0> cannto write to a file
<0> I have changed the permission even to 777
<0> but still cannot write to a file from Firefox
<1> For the cgi directory or for the data directory?
<0> Darkchanter thanks for responding
<1> np
<0> Darkchanter I want to write to a text file called data.txt
<0> I have chmod 777 data.txt
<1> Most ppl aren't here, is all.
<0> hehehe
<0> it runs fine from the unix box
<0> but not though a browser
<1> This is on a win32 box?
<0> it is unix
<0> http://users.monash.edu.au/~iskandar/cgi-bin/writeCGI.pl
<0> if you run that it will give you error permission denied
<0> I have this code from Internet
<0> Darkchanter please help, I am completely lost
<1> It's trying to write to a file called survey.out
<0> yes it is
<0> I have chmod survey.out too
<0> chmod 777 survey.out
<1> chmod 777 the directory where the data files are. Then delete the files if they are already there
<0> i put this file under cgi-bin directory
<0> chmod 777 cgi-bin
<1> The directory, not the file. It'll get confused if the script is rewriting the file.
<0> is this correct?
<0> 1. chmod 777 cgi-bin
<0> 2. chmod 777 survey.out
<0> is this correct
<1> Depends where the script wants to write the file to (normally not the cgi-bin).
<0> I have it under cgi-bin
<1> The full path to the cgi-bin (which I can't remember).
<0> I have chmod 777 cgi-bin
<0> chmod 777 /afs/cc.monash.edu.au/users/i/s/iskandar/WWW/cgi-bin
<0> this is the full path
<1> Now read the script and find where it writes the file and check the directory
<1> (Odd that cgi-bin is a subdir of www.)
<0> ok
<0> open(OUTF,">>survey.out") or dienice("Couldn't open survey.out for
<0> writing: $!");
<0> i believe that the survey.out should be written on the cgi-bin directory
<1> Certaintly looks that way.
<0> -rwxrwxrwx 1 iskandar eln 15 May 17 23:17 survey.out
<1> Okay. Run the script from the console and see if you get the same error.
<0> still no good
<0> > ./writeCGI.pl

<0> it is fine
<0> this is why it is so wierd
<0> I have been spending 5 days
<0> Darkchanter: are you there?
<1> Hang on
<0> thanks
<1> Windows has just dissapeared a 120Mb file of mine.
<0> sorry
<0> http://www.cgi101.com/cl***/ch6/survey.txt
<0> this is where I got the script from
<0> can you recover your files?
<1> I can't find it. I'll have to download the whole damn thing again :(
<0> Darkchanter sometimes windows does stupid things
<1> This looks quite primitive. Comment out those two lines where it locks the file.
<0> hang on
<0> flock(OUTF,2);
<0> you mean this one
<1> The flock and the seek. Doesn't appear to matter though.
<0> I did that, still the same problem
<1> It works fine from the console and not from the web...
<0> that is the problem
<0> very wierd
<1> ...means that the webuser user account doesn't have write permissions.
<0> how to check that
<1> You have and it shows that he has.
<1> -rwxrwxrwx
<0> yes
<0> but I donot know why
<1> Delete survey.out and try again. More than that all I can suggest is restarting the webserver daemon.
<0> I cannot restart it, it belongs to the school
<0> is that anything that you can think of
<0> can you please upload it onto your server and try it, at least I can confirm that the script is working
<1> The script is working - you checked it from the console.
<0> yes, I did that
<0> just not from the web
<0> I guess that is the deadend now
<1> Get whomever admins the server to solve the permissions problem.
<0> Darkchanter many thanks for your help
<0> really appreciate that
<1> Which will probably require restarting that daemon or rebooting the box. I can't remember, it's been years since I admined linux.
<1> np
<0> at least now I feel better
<0> so basically ask the admin to restart the webserver admin, or set the permission?
<0> I mean the webserver daemon
<0> Darkchanter many thanks
<0> if there is anything else that I have to do, could you please email me to Johan.Iskandar@gmail.com
<0> it is very late now and I am very tired
<0> Darkchanter see you later
<0> Darkchanter bye
