Title: Problem extending user interface
Post by: Kamelia Popova on March 04, 2001, 03:19:11 PM

Hi, all!

I tried extending the user interface of the e-smith manager.( Needed parameters exist in /home/e-smith/configuration file.)

1. I created new web page (by copy and edit an existing one) in /etc/e-smith/web/functions
2. I created link to it in /etc/e-smith/web/panels/manager/cgi-bin
3. Finally, I created actions in events directory

The file permissions of my script,link, etc. are exactly the same as the e-smith's base scripts,links,etc.

The problem:
When I access my script via e-smith-manager and change one or more parameters in the web page, after submitting I get the following error:

Software error:
Cannot open file /home/e-smith/configuration: Permission denied.


I can't understand what goes wrong. Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Kamelia, see if you can follow this HowTo.  Substitute 'my-script' for your filename.  You probably missed this permission command, chmod u+rws,g+rx /etc/e-smith/web/functions/my-script.

e-smith-manager script:

 chown root:admin /etc/e-smith/web/functions/my-script
 chmod u+rws,g+rx /etc/e-smith/web/functions/my-script

action script:

 chmod 554 /etc/e-smith/events/actions/my-script
 chown root:root /etc/e-smith/events/actions/my-script

Create an event directory and link to my-script action script:

 mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/events/my-script
 ln -sf /etc/e-smith/events/actions/my-script /etc/e-smith/events/my-script/S10my-script

Create a link in /etc/e-smith/web/panels/manager/cg-bin

 ln -sf /etc/e-smith/web/functions/my-script /etc/e-smith/web/panels/manager/cgi-bin/my-script

Test in the e-smith-manager

All file permissions are good. But it isn't work.
Another ideas?

Yes, now it worked! The problem was in file permissions.
Thank you, Darrell!
