I moved to a new server over the weekend, and started getting this error on add.cgi. However, modify and search are working fine.

failed to open log file
fopen: Permission denied
[Tue Sep 23 04:41:14 2003] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.x] Premature end of script headers: /home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/links/cgi/add.cgi

I did some searches on the boards and found a few posts that mentioned a links.log file. I checked for that file and it is not in the original zip. So, I created one and tested it in a few different directories. No luck!

I also read about add.cgi ,issing the last }, so I verified that it was included.

Now I am stuck!

Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

What mods do you have installed?

I don't even think fopen() is a perl function, but a PHP one!

Thanks for the response.

It has been awhile since I installed any mods, and I can't remember which ones (if any) I am currently using.

It was working fine prior to the move. The move consisted of create a tar, move it over, unpack it, and make a change to the paths.

Could be down to your sendmail path... that has given me problems before.

checked sendmail and it is set at:

# PATH of sendmail. # SMTP Server

$db_mail_path = '/usr/sbin/sendmail'; $db_smtp_server = '';

checked these setting using a info.cgi script that I have, and it shows:

Mail Program=
sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail /etc/sendmail.cf /usr/lib/sendmail /usr/share/man/man8/sendmail.8.gz

Do you have anything defined in links.cfg, as a mail-log?

Also, when you uploaded the add.cgi (from the original ZIP file), did you upload in ASCII? What happens if you run the script via SSH?

did not find anything in links.cfg



This is what I received when I went to /cgi and ran add.cgi

perl add.cgi
Content-type: text/plain

Error including libraries: Can't locate /home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/links/cgi/admin/db_utils.pl at add.cgi line 31.

Make sure they exist, permissions are set properly, and paths are set correctly.

line 31 of add.cgi is



require "admin/links.cfg"; # Change this to full path to links.cfg if you ave problems.

require "$db_lib_path/db_utils.pl";
require "$db_lib_path/links.def";

I am getting the same error when I attempt to run modify.cgi from the prompt, but it works fine via the html link.



bash-2.05a$ perl modify.cgi
Content-type: text/plain

Error including libraries: Can't locate /home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/links/cgi/admin/db_utils.pl at modify.cgi line 31.

Make sure they exist, permissions are set properly, and paths are set correctly.bash-2.05a$

try using:

require "/full/path/to/admin/links.cfg";

as reported in quite a few threads in this forum.

Buh Bye!

- made the change



require "/home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/links/cgi/admin/links.cfg"; # Change this to full path to links.cfg if you have problems.





- ftp ascii

No luck so far, so I contacted a few of the Installers listed in the Resources to see if they are interested in taking a look at it.

I had exactly the same problem today, with a lot of files after transferring them to a new server. I could solve it by changing the paths to perl, in the files that refer to it at the top. e.g. changing #!/usr/local/bin/perl to #!/usr/bin/perl

Maybe this helps some one some day...
