Re: Re: Script to unzip a zip file on the server......

The path /home/wwubl/public_html/LeagueSite is the path to where I want it to unzip. I'm not sure I follow you.......this is the only path entered in the script that I can find. If you have a script that will do what I want and I can use it after its personalized, I'd appreciate it.

By path, ScooterQ means the PATH environment variable in Unix, not the path where you want the zip to be extracted to. Shells will search the PATH variable for executables and other files. If an executable isn't in one of the directories specified by PATH, then you need to use its full path (such as `/usr/bin/unzip` instead of `unzip`) to run it. Update: Run this as a CGI script to see the what the PATH variable for CGI scripts is set to: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; print "Content-type: text/html\n\n", `echo \$PATH`.

Also, showing the PATH could be a security risk, so after you've run it, be sure to make it non-accessible by others.)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

/usr/bin/unzip

unzip

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n", `echo \$PATH`.
