Re: Re: Re: Creating .gif images with Perl

If your Web host doesn't let you execute binaries from writeable directories, why not remove write permissions from the directory once you have placed the executables there? I don't understand why this would cause any problems. Do you have other problems you haven't mentioned yet?

The only binarys we can execute are in /usr /bin or /etc /usr /bin and /etc are read-only	[reply]

You should be able to execute binaries anywhere if you specify an absolute path rather than relying on `PATH`. That there are regular use binaries in `/etc` strikes me as extremly odd. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]

Specifying an absolute path other than /bin or /usr gives the error Binary file execution denied in mountpoints.	[reply]
