Tittel: CGI scripts can't retrieve HTML docs using lynx
Skrevet av: ATC på 27. ſeptember 2008, 18:24 pm

CGI scripts sometimes uses the text based command line browser "lynx" to retrieve remote documents. After a major Apache upgrade lynx would no longer work, instead exiting with an uninformative "/xxxxx: Access denied" where xxxxx is a random string of characters.

Lynx is unable to create a temporary file. The home directory of the apache/nobody user is invalid or refers to a directory where apache/nobody doesn't have write permissions. Manually edit "/etc/passwd", it should look something like this:

"nobody:x:99:99:Nobody:/tmp:"
