Issue perl skripts homedirectory

M

moswak

Regular Pleskian
Plesk 12.5.30 Update #45
CentOS 7.2.1511

Anybody here who uses perlscripts ?

An old confixx-user wants to move his sites to plesk. he uses many perl-skripts but they dont work in plesk.
the scripts are outside cgi-bin, they worked but the cant get the right directory. fascgi, cgi, perl is aktivated.

Query on the alleged current directory shows the root / directory of the server and not the directory in users webspace.

i`ve searched in the kb but didn`t found a solution.

can anybody help ?
 
Hi moswak,

pls. consider to check for example:

Home > Subscriptions > YOUR-DOMAIN.COM > Websites & Domains > Hosting Settings​

Home > Subscriptions > YOUR-DOMAIN.COM > Websites & Domains > FTP Accounts > YOUR-DOMAIN.COM - SYSTEM - USER​


Pls. make sure that the associated service plan for the domain allows the wanted permissions:

Home > Service Plans > Hosting Plans > YOUR-SERVICE-PLAN-ASSOCIATED-WITH-THE-DOMAIN > ( tab ) Hosting Parameters​


If you use a "chrooted environment", pls. make sure, that the necessary binaries are available at "/var/www/vhosts/chroot" and consider to read as well:




If you need further help with investigations and/or to solve your issue(s). pls. consider to add error - log - messages which point to your issue(s), so that people willing to help you don't have to guess, what might be mis/unconfigured for your domain. It might help as well to add the content of a script, which results in errors/issues/problems, so that possible advanced investigations can be done, because nobody is able to guess the root cause.

Hi UFHH01,

ive check serviceplan, subscription hostings setting all is ok. cgo, perl is allowed. i think you missunderstood me. perl scripts are working they can`t only find the current directory.
pleas use attached test.txt - rename ist to test.pl ... call is domain.com/test.pl outside cgi-bin folder
what do you see under "This is the query about supposedly current directory" ?
and what you see under "This is the query about the actually current directory" ?

Hi moswak,

maybe YOU misunderstood my helping words, because you think, that it might be necessary to test MY server(s)/vhost(s) configuration - I don't have issues, as described by you on my servers - well if it satisfy you, the answer to your latest question is:
  1. /var/www/vhosts/MY-DOMAIN.COM/httpdocs
  2. /var/www/vhosts/MY-DOMAIN.COM/httpdocs
... but this answer will not help you at all, I think. ;)
 
Hi UFHH01,

>> but this answer will not help you at all, I think. ;)

yes :)

i think my serviceplan, subscription hostings setting allows the wanted permissions.
so the issues must be in /var/www/vhosts/chroot ?
there must be perl in /var/www/vhosts/chroot/usr/bin ?
 
Hi moswak,

consider as well to check your "include_path" and "open_basedir" settings in your depending "php.ini" - files, if you experience issues, because you don't necessarily have to have all binaries in the chrooted environment, when you already included their paths there.
