I have recently installed Fedora 8 on a new server for doing some scripting, and moved a few scripts to it from another server (Fedora 4). Its a cgi-bin script that queries standard information off of devices. On the new server, when I run the script, I get an error, that I don't know how to fix, perhaps someone here can shed some light into it. I know the code has worked flawlessly on several OS Platforms... so I think its something moreso to do with an OS issue, but its worth a shot.
