scgiwrap: Caller must be the nobody user

[bpathak]

Hi,

I am trying to run a simple python script, but I keep getting error - "scgiwrap: Caller must be the nobody user"

I have tried all suggestions provided like !shebang,htaccess etc but nothing has worked so far.

#!/usr/bin/python
#!/usr/bin/env python
print "Content-type: text/html"
print "<title>CGI 101</title>"
print "<h1>A First CGI Example</h1>"
print "<P>Hello, CGI World!</p>"
If someone has any idea kindly assist.
Thanks
bpathak

I don't have any experience with Python, but it appeared as if nobody else in the forums was able to provide you with a solution, so I'm gonna take a shot at it after doing a little bit of research on Google.

What are the permissions on that file? Apparently, it's supposed to be set to executable (CHMOD 755).

Thanks adamparkzer

Yes the permissions on cgi-bin as well as the script are 755

The script is at below url -
http://bpathak.x10hosting.com/scgi-bin/first.cgi


Appreciate your help!
Edit:
Just noticed that this is not related to python. I tried a simple perl script and get the same error. This seems to be a configuration issue. But I have not made any changes. Any clues what would be wrong?

Thanks.

I think You have to submit a support ticket at http://support.x10hosting.com if this is a config problem

scgiwrap doesn't appear to work on x10. If you want to use it, open the ticket. If you don't need it, put your scripts in cgi-bin rather than scgi-bin.

Mission - The scripts are kept in CGI-BIN directory and SCGI-BIN is empty. Still when I execute I get the error message.

Note - Now the error message has changed to -
"scgiwrap: Cannot stat cgi script/binary. Does it exist?"

I do not know how. I am stuck with this problem and have not changed anything. I think I should listen to Zubair and raise a ticket?

Yes submit a Support Ticket they will be able to assist you!

The problem is resolved. I think I just enabled the simple CGI wrap option in CGIcenter in Cpanel.

I hope this was the solution but again you never know. Anyway I am on my way now.

Thanks everyone for your efforts and support.
