Hi,
I'm having trouble getting a shell script (sh) file to run under
FreeBSD's Apache. It worked fine under NSCA though???
Is it a permissions, or what problem?

This is the output to the error_log of the program in cgi-bin, that
calls a bunch of other stuff?  Perhaps it can no longer do that?

If I run it form the command line, as user www, it works fine and does
what it should, but called from the html file, it now does this?

any clues anyone.
Robert
