Perl Scripts not executable in web server

I have a MacMini running 10.4 Server. It is hosting a web site for some surveys that are created using SurveyTracker.
The person creating the surveys SMB connects to the web server to create the files in the share point that is also the main web directory (not /Library/WebServer/Documents but a different location).
The problem is, when the person does the SMB file create, it does not create the pl scripts with the 'x' bit enabled. Instead of rwx/rwx/r-x (775) it comes rw-/rw-/r-- (664).
I have tried setting a cron job to auto chmod to 775 every five minutes but the cron job does not run.
Is there a way to change the permsissions on the folder, i.e. Sticky Bit, so any file being created in the folder wil have the 'x' bit automatically?
The option of giving ssh access to the person creating the file is not as easy as it sounds, as they do not understand terminal/ssh.
I have mod_perl and mod_cgi enabled in the webserver settings, and allow CGI-Execute.
XServe Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Can servlets/ jsp automatically run perl scripts and executables?

I'm a student and am new to to servlets and web programming in general.
I need to know if it's possible to run perl scripts and executables automatically from servlets/ jsp.
The program I am planning on creating should have a client outside a firewall that uploads perl files to a gateway machine inside the firewall, the servlet should be able to run this perl file, and then pass the resulting file as an argument to an executable, to be run by another servlet on a different server.
I've tried looking everwhere for an answer to this and am about to revert to a cgi based approach because I'm not sure if it would work so any help/ suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hallo,
I think using java Runtime will help. you can do Processes that execute shell or system commands through
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("your perl scripts here!");

RunAtServer script in XDP not executed in Form Server

Hi, Expert,
I authored the form template in Designer 7.1 and generated PDF using SOAP client call 'renderForm()' successfully on Form Server with JBoss 3.x.
The problem is that the script in the template written in Designer set as 'RunAt=Server' never gets executed in Forms Server (the script is triggered in the event like 'form:ready' and 'layout:ready').
Is there any special options which shd be set in renderForm() call or the properties of XDP?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
John

Hi, Rob,
Thank you very much for the reply.
I call the renderForm() is like:
IOutputContext context = formServer.renderForm(
args[0], // name of XDP file
"PDFForm", // for interactive form
xmlBytes, // merged XML data
"CacheEnabled=False", // runtime options
null,
"http://localhost:8080/",
"http://localhost:8080/", // sTargetURL
"file:///d:/formsapi", // path of XDP file
null);
The script in XDP run at server in form:ready is like:
if (txtProductId.rawValue == null || txtProductId.rawValue == "") {
// hide it
txtProductId.presence = "hidden";
Thanks again
John

Can I run perl scripts on a iplanet App Server instead of web server

Hello,
We have some perl scripts running on a iWS 6.0 in DMZ (Tier1) which acess Oracle Server(Tier 3). I want to restrict machines on DMZ access Oracle server directly. Instead I want all the database calls to orignate from iPlanet App server on Tier 2. To make this happen I have to run Perl scripts on App server. Is this feasible as the J2EE iPlanet App can run only C++ or Java.. Any leads helps me lot..
Thanks
Sudhir Nallagangu

According to the J2EE specs you should use EJBs and Servlets in the iAS! Running a perl script for db access sounds like good old cgi times.
But generally it is possible to call a perl script from within iAS. But don't do it!

Perl scripts not recognized by Apache 1.3

Hello Discussions-Tiger Forums,
I need to do some troubleshooting of Perl scripts on a PowerPC Mac, as I wait for my company to get a new computer for me. The PowerPC is running Apache 1.3 .
My problem is that the Apache server is not running Perl scripts, but instead is displaying them like text files. For example - localhost:8080/hello.pl shows the lines of perl code instead of showing the "hello world" message.
I've uncommented the "AddModule mod_perl.c" line in the htpd.conf and restarted the web server via the "Sharing" Preferences panel.
Also - how do I tell Apache where perl is?
- Larry

Thanks for the CHMOD hint and the link. Inspired by the information, I am going to do some research into AddHandler and ScriptAlias. I am working on a site with a nonstandard location for cgi scripts, and the previous coder is out on vacation.
I'll report back here on my progress or lack thereof.

SWF created in CS4 Flash does not play from web server

I published a Flash movie in CS4, which includes the following ActionScript 3.0 code to allow people to click the movie to open a new web page; but it will not play from the web server...however, it plays just fine from my local hard drive in Firefox and IE 7.
It is an html file with an embedded .swf and I made sure to copy over the swfObject.js, AC_ActvieX.js, AC_RunActiveContent.js, expressInstall.swf, and swfobject_modified.js files to the correct directories. The address is: http://www.giseldemarco.com/introduction.html and as you will see, there are no errors...just a blank page. I even tried changing the script from:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
to this script: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/swfobject/2.2/swfobject.js"></script>, but using this script generates a lot of CSS and other errors.
Nothing works. The ActionScript code I used is:
//Link to website
Site_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,visitSite);
function visitSite(e:MouseEvent):void{
    var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://giseldemarco.com/Home/Index.html");
    navigateToURL(req,"_parent");
I am at a loss here...any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.

Nothing new... Flash developers fall for this all the time...

Unix shell script should execute (run) webI report.

Hi
i am new to BO.
I have webI reports developed, can any one tell me how to execute a webI reprot using unix sheel script.

Hello Vijaya,
Thatu2019s an interesting question. BusinessObjects does not supply any native UNIX shell interfaces or scripts for running/executing Webi Reports. Not knowing what it is you are exactly trying to accomplish Iu2019ll give a very general answer.
I have had several customers who had requirements to have external systems execute, refresh and export reports in BusinessObjects Enterprise before. These external systems could execute a shell script so what they have ended up doing is creating generic Java applications that use the BusinessObjects BOE Java SDK. Once they had the Java application created their external application could execute a java directory or they created shell wrappers that were called. So what you could do is create some Java applications that wrap the functionally you need and then execute those from the command line.
With that said there is a lot of functionally built into BusinessObjects Enterprise. If I was to know exactly what you were trying to achieve I might be able to point you in the direction of an existing product feature.
Cheers,
David.

Script not executed

How do you use javascript within yr' jsp page? The ff script never gets executed and I need a popup displayed when user is not logged on. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
<% if(XXXXXXXx.verifyUser()) { %>
<jsp:forward page="xxx.htm"/>
<% } else { %>
<SCRIPT>
function openpopup(){
var popurl="Invalid UserName/Password"
winpops=window.open(popurl,"","width=400,height=338,status,")
openpopup()
</Script>
<jsp:forward page="login.htm"/>
<% } %>

The problem seems to be that you have the <jsp:forward> tag after your script. This causes the server to forward the request to another page, so that your page with the script won't be sent to the client at all. Remove the <jsp:forward> and put a line like
document.location="something"
in your client-side script after the pop-up..

Certificate request not working with web server v2 template on windows 2012 R2

I have tried to generate a certificate request on my domain joined Windows 2012 R2. I have tried both online and offline requests. I am using the web server v2 template.
Both Method fails with error message that the cryptographic algorithm is unknown. I am using these settings apart from the template:
This is the error Message in online request:
The error Message in the offline request is somewhat similar.
An event error is also appearing in the application log:
The CSPs from the template:
I am wondering if a cryptographic service provider or several of them are missing? They are installed With Windows update are they not? The strange thing is that this supposedly have worked before with another user. Could it be that I do not have the
correct permissions to request a certificate with this template, or has something happened with the server?

Hey dag
Thanks for posting ,
If You try duplicate the web template for using it in version 4 - can You see any difference?
Also check the link below for certificate templates versions:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13303.windows-server-2012-certificate-template-versions-and-options.aspx#Version_4_Certificate_Templates
In previous operating system versions the configuration of CSPs and KSPs were on different tabs in the certificate properties. For version 2 certificate templates, CSPs were configured on the Request Handling tab. For version 3 certificate templates,
KSPs were configured on the Cryptography tab. Starting in Windows Server 2012, the configuration of the providers is consolidated on the Cryptography tab. To learn more about the cryptographic provider options present in previous operating systems
Notice later.
I'd be glad to answer any question

Financial Reporting Studio 11.1.2.1 PDF not Configured for Web Server

Works in Tomcat but not in iPlanet Web server

I have a servlet which first generates a form which has one input field, when user fills in the text field and submits the form it is posted to same servlet. The posted data is processed and redirected to another servlet. Everything works fine on Tomcat3.2 but fails to work on iPlanet web server and throws HTTP Error 500.
Can someone help me with this? What might be the problem?

Don't know whey it worked in Tomcat and not in iPlanet, but the reason is because I missed '/' in getRequestDispatcher() methoc
public RequestDispatcher getRequestDispatcher(java.lang.String path)
The pathname must begin with a "/" and is interpreted as relative to the current context root.

Can applet access oracleDB which not on the Web server

can anyone tell me if I could use applet come from a Web server to access oracle DB on the other workstation, how to do it

It should work already as the default config also sets an /owncloud alias. If it doesn't work, try

It worked before when I first tested owncloud (6 months ago)
the symlink works if I remove apaches owncloud conf file.
I'll mark this as solved, but it should work with the conf file in place, not the symlink on the filesystem.
Thanks, I don't know why i did not try that before

Tmadmin in unix script not executed in cron

Hi,
I have a script in HP UX that is using tmadmin and pclt to know the no of users that are currently using the system.
Let me call this script as myscript.sh.
#!/bin/sh
count = ' echo pclt | tmadmin | grep <search string> | wc -l '
echo $count
When the script is run in command line, (./myscript.sh) I am getting the results or the no of users. BUT when the script is put in cron , I have '0' output. It appears that tmadmin is not being executed when the script is called inside crontab.
I did specified the PATH environment variable, and hard coded the directory when tmadmin is located but still tmadmin is not executed.
Can someone help me on this ? Thanks.

Hi,
You need more than the Tuxedo bin directory in your path. You also need the TUXDIR, APPDIR, and TUXCONFIG environment variables set. Add setting those to your script before invoking tmadmin and you should be good to go, assuming the account the cron job is running under has access to the TUXDIR and APPDIR directories.

Patches with pre and or post patch scripts not executable -- why?

In my frustration with update manager hangs I have had to kill processes and restart and even manually unjar files and patchadd. Sometimes I run across the error that the pre or post patch scripts are not executable. I have in the past chmod 744 and patchadd then applies the patch. This has happened several times in my latest patch update. I also had a patch ( X11) that implied a lack of entitlement but the manual patchadd showed that the real problem was a missing prerequisite patch.
My questions are:
1. is this lack of executable permission on scripts ( pre and post) by design and am I missing the correct procedure?
2. missing prerequisite scripts? why?
3. out of frustration --- IS THIS PATCHING UTILITY THE BEST THAT SUN CAN DO?

Update Manager is sometimes a little flaky, particularly on unpatched systems (as it uses many different utilities). I would suggest that if you are having problems then you should use smpatch instead - it's not really any more difficult to use and is often much quicker.
If a patch has a script that is not executable that is not a fault of updatemanager, but a fault with the patch itself (being archived with incorrect settings) or possibly your umask setting, which should ideally be globaly set to 0022 prior to patching to prevent problems during extraction and application.
If updatemanager has complained about a lack of entitlement I would tend to believe that this was the case, check the contents of your entitlement file:
# cat /var/sadm/spool/cache/entitlement/*entitlement_clientYou may be missing SolarisAllUpdates or other entitlements - please post the output.
Sun do offer other patching tools, but what is best for one person/company may not be the best for all. There is also the possibility that you don't have it setup correctly - I would ask that you run the attached script and upload the output file generated to our [Support Uploads|http://supportuploads.sun.com/] site.
