• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Writing files with CGI/Perl

If I create a simple script such as:

open (TESTWR, "> testit");
print TESTWR "testo";
close TESTWR;

Perl will not create and write to this file no matter what the permissions on the directory. If I run the perl script via shell as root, it works, but otherwise, no go. I ran some other tests through perl via CGI and the web, and I was able to find out that it was not running via suexec (or at least running "whoami" showed the user "apache" - also it was interesting that the "pwd" command showed "/").

This is a big problem for me. How can I get perl to run through CGI via suexec and have it be able to write and create files?
