  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Getting error 500 when running scripts from cgi-bin folder

Hi guys,
A customer has brought to my attention that he gets error 500 Internal Server Error when he tries to run his perl script from within the cgi-bin folder. If he runs it from the httpdocs folder it works fine.
This is what is listed on the log:
Code:
[Mon Jul 31 10:05:29 2006] [error] [client 204.214.148.1] failed to open log file /var/log/httpd/suexec_log
[Mon Jul 31 10:05:29 2006] [error] [client 204.214.148.1] fopen: Permission denied
[Mon Jul 31 10:05:29 2006] [error] [client 204.214.148.1] Premature end of script headers: hello.pl

The perl script being run is:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

$name="Hello World";
print $name;

I have done chmod 755 cgi-bin and made sure the script is owned by domainuser.psacln per other posts.

Anyone has any tips on fixing this ?

Thank you in advance.
PS: Server is running Plesk 7.5.4 on FC3
 
Any chance this got upgraded at some point? suexec

There is a psa_suexec that you'll probably need to copy over the existing one. Do a search for it here and I'll see what I'm talking about.
