As it's only 1 week to go before ALUG 5 is upon us I wondered has anybody posted an announce message to the UK Linux newsgroups?
Who is coming and what are you bringing? There is a map posted on the ALUG web site http://www.anglian.lug.org.uk/meetings.html to help you find the hall.
It might also be an idea if we could agree on IP addresses etc. before hand to save the normal ALUG tradition of a network frenzy for 50% of the meeting. :-)
Cheers, BJ

I'm coming I hope ;) and I hope to bring my box with cd-writer tv-card. but if I can't solve the lilo problem it may well stay on for some time yet. Also I met with Aquarius and were trying to organise an Alug 6 in North Norfolk for around early March time, If there's any problems with that then let us know.

Having had a brief look around, the Community Centre in my town has a room that they will hire out for 18UKP; is there an issue with all attendees chipping in a couple of pounds? If so, I'll happily look around in a bit more detail :-)

Well as I said the other night I can contribute at least 2UKP and if I get the job I've been put up for I will contribute the whole cost.

Unless I can get transport from Colchester (uni) or Ipswich station, I doubt it. In case I *am* on Norwich though, anyone going from there?
I expect to be going to ALUG and can give 3 or 4 people a lift from Essex Uni or Colchester. Any takers?

Put me down as a provisional. Want me to bring a 10mb hub and some cables? I also have some spare 3C509s for lendsies.
Cheers, Laurie.

I was wondering if you could help on the following problem. I'm developing some cgi scripts using perl on RedHat Linux 6, with the default apache installation. Everything goes ok with the scripts until I need them to write contents to a file. At this point however the file is not created. My guess is that this has something to do with file permissions, because when I run the scripts via the command line, the file is written ok. Furthermore whenever I need to edit my perl scripts in /home/httpd/cgi-bin/... I need to go into superuser mode in order to save changes.
What permissions do I need to set on the scripts and directory containing them in order for the scripts to create and write to files? Do I need to chmod anything or chown particular files, e.g. something like 'chown www script.pl'? Or is the problem in the default apache configuration which comes with Redhat 6. I have already chmoded the scripts so they have read, write and execute permissions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ah, big clue there...
What permissions do I need to set on the scripts and directory containing them in order for the scripts to create and write to files?

That rather depends on what you want executing them. PERL AFAIK will execute things using the ownership/group permissions of whatever ran the PERL script itself, be that your or, say, the webserver.
If the thing running the PERL script (i.e. you) doesn't have permission to create a file in the directory, then neither will PERL.
If the PERL script is being run by the webserver when you're having problems, then make sure the webserver is running in the right user/group (in httpd.conf this can be set), a better way though is just to modify the target directory to allow write access from nobody.nobody (or whatever user.group your webserver runs as).
I *hope* I've read your message right :)

When you are running under Apache you are running as user 'nobody'. You therefore cannot write to anything anywhere unless that file/directory has mode at least 666.
An laternative is to use the modsu module in apache, but for this you must be able to configure the server yourself, i.e. you need root priviledge.

Thanks everyone for your help. I've got the perl scripts writing to files now. I looked in the apache configuration file and found the server was running as userid - nobody, group - nobody. I chowned the directory containing the perl scripts to nobody:nobody and now it runs fine.
Thanks again for your help. See you all on Sunday.
