painthappy has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
This has got me stumped, and I've not run into this issue before.
I have a cgi program whereby I want to run a system command... system("ffmpeg -blah blah blah"); Now in my browser, the cgi reads nicely, but the system command does not run. In the command line, if I type: "./myfile.cgi" or "perl myfile.cgi", the system command works. So... Why does it not run when asked to when using the browser? I've poked around with suexec, and looked at logs, but just can't seem to come up with an answer that works. I know it must be simple, but I'm having trouble seeing the light. Thanks in advance!!
