The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Paul Borghese" <address@concealed>]

Hi David,

I figured it out.  The suExec method was a little more complex then
anticipated.  

First, in most Linux implementations suExec is compiled with a directory
from which everything must reside.  Under Redhat 5.x, that directory is
/var/www/.

Second issue was selinux was prevening the script from accessing the correct
directories. 

Take care,

Paul

Subject: Re: [sympa-users] help with suExec : Can't locate tools.pl

Hi,

Is it the same wwsympa.fcgi in both cases ?
I see that you use, in your Apache conf, /var/www/sympa/cgi-bin/wwsympa.fcgi
But it seems that your tools.pl file is located inside a "bin" directory.
Do you use symbolic links or is it two different directories?
