When mod_ruid2 is loaded via the httpd.conf file, I see it in the logs:

 

[Fri Nov 22 14:38:07.684888 2024] [:notice] [pid 432483:tid 432483] mod_ruid2/0.9.8 enabled

 

Then I see it trying to fork children and failing:

I check for coredumps but the folder is empty.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Is there another module that would recommend that would let me run perl scripts via httpd as a different account? This is for our support staff. We have a different account with read access to the sympa DB. We have perl scripts that them look up a user or a list.

All,

 

I have this working on our old CentOS 7 server running sympa.  I have the mod_ruid2 installed. It is loaded in httpd when it starts. wwsympa starts with no issues. We use mod_ruid2 to run perl scripts via the web as another user.

 

On our new RHEL 9 server running sympa I have install mod_ruid2 and httpd will die when I start wwsympa.

 

If I comment out the loading of the mod_ruid2 and restart httpd, wwsympa loads fine. Everything works except the perl scripts we use via web.

 

Has anyone encounter anything like this? Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

 

Jim True
