Re^6: Geo::Coder::Google running as cgi

No good.
Apache is configured (as default) to run as nobody. So,
su -l -c 'ping www.google.com' nobody
This account is currently not available

cat /etc/passwd
nobody:x:99:99:Nobody:/:/sbin/nologin

looks like loging in to test is not possible

You might (A) change the /sbin/nologin to /bin/bash and set a password for nobody for the duration of your test or (B) set the environment (especially the PATH) of the shell you are in to the environment of the CGI and test it this way. A is preferable, just don't forget to change it back. B is faster if you just test the most likely culprits like PATH	[reply]
