scriptexec always returns not found #1

Closed awshidahak closed 2 years ago

awshidahak commented 2 years ago

I have scriptexec enabled on my server. I have scripts that work using the python2 version of pygopherd, but no script seems to work on this python3 version. Whenever I call a script from either a web browser or gopher client, I get a not found output. On the web browser version, it renders an html error as text with http headers like so:

HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found Content-Type: text/html

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd"> <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Selector Not Found</TITLE> <H1>Selector Not Found</H1> <TT>No such file or directory</TT><HR>Pygopherd</BODY></HTML>

I have pygopherd installed into the system as root, and running with the gopher user. Plain text documents serve just fine.

It's tough to diagnose without seeing your filesystem and server configuration, but I've had this happen before too and it ended up being a file permission issue. The file does need to be globally executable (S_IXOTH) which is kind of a gotcha, but this was also the behavior in python2.

A file permission issue. Yes, the executable bit is set on the file. ls -l /var/gopher/qotwtxt will tell us this:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 gopher gopher 554 Sep 21 03:59 /var/gopher/qotwtxt

I can give you my full /etc/pygopherd/pygopherd.conf if that's what you mean by server configuration.

pygopherd.conf.txt

Renamed it to .txt for the upload. Is there anything else I can show you?

I fixed it by changing usechroot to no.
