CGI-BIN not working

[diness]

I have a problem with my cgi-bin.
I have uploaded several different cgi script to the cgi-bin, all has the right premissions set, but they all turn out with a server error.

500 Internal Server Error.


I uploaded some files to the web server and I can't seem to view them in a web browser. The files I uploaded have the following paths:

/cgi-bin/listman/hello.cgi
/cgi-bin/listman/hello.pl

Try to reach them though here :

http://mydomain/cgi-bin/listman/hello.cgi

If I put a html file instead, there is no problems.
What am I doing wrong?

got exactly the same problem:

-->> Big mySQL query crashes Plesk...and cgi doesn't work <<--

try following those instruction and see what comments you find in your logs, lets see if they differ

I can not access the log from my plesk controlpanel, it says domain id invailid.

However, I find it odd that cgi is not working at alle - have tried several scripts. Something much be wrong with the apache server.

what does plesk support says?

Can I??

According to the text of SW-soft web site, I am only entitled free support during the first 30 days after purchasing the plesk lisense.

I have been using PLESK for over a year now. Hence my desperate crys for hep over the last few weeks after the upgrade to 7.5 version.

Use of the PLESK platform is not our core business. We provide customer web applications (95% of our business), hosting is an additional service we provide. Its a mix between MS platforms and dedicated Linux boxes.

The PLESK box is an extra to a couple of our customers, and currently it is causing us more grief that it is worh.......

How can I go about solving this issue?
Please help

search for "Internal Server Error" at faq.sw-soft.com and you'll find articles how to trace possible cgi script problem reasons..

there may be independent 5-6 reasons as far as i remember, from broken suexec to ^M windows characters in scripts

However, now its doing something new....

If I run the script in shell, everything is fine, it rints the output. If I run the script through the browser, I still get the error page and the following entry in the error log:-

[2005-04-13 18:16:22]: uid: (10004/eaglenet) gid: (10001/10001) cmd: t2.pl
[2005-04-13 18:16:22]: target uid/gid (10004/10001 or $ld) mismatch with directory (2523/10004) or program (2523/0)

How come there is the id miss-match?

My cgi-script is working after I changed the ftpusername to : ftpuser.

 

[Matt.D]

where? in proftpd.conf?

 

[diness]

I just changed the ftp login in Plesk - in the setup hosting.

username : ftpuser

Then it was working, pretty odd.

Hi there!

please check that you have correct permissions to the cgi-bin directory and all its subdirectories:

FTPUSERsacln

where FTPUSER is one that has been defined from the control panel: Domains -> DOMAIN.COM -> Setup -> Ftp user.

or:

#grep DOMAIN.COM /etc/passwd

Further you may use the following command to fix recursive:

#chown -R FTPUSERsacln cgi-bin
