Permission denied launching program

Post by esdaled »

We use different ports (and different HTTP servers) to access different regions of our application (e.g. development, QA, production). I recently installed ProfoundUI 4.8.3.

Most of our programs are launched via Genie or Genie macros. These work fine.

I have been working on launching some ProfoundUI screens directly. Strangely, this seems to work in the QA and production regions and not in the development region. In development, I receive a page that simply says "Permission denied"

The URL that I am using is http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:pppp/profoundui/auth/start?p1=SPOL&l1=10

I'm having trouble tracking down the problem. I don't see anything in the httpd.conf file that could be causing this, nor can I thing of an object authority problem I might have.

Does the "Permission denied" message come from PUI0005001? Any suggestions on where to look for the cause of the problem?

Yes, I think you're right that the error is coming from the PUI0005001 program. This is the target of the /profoundui/auth/start URL.

What this program does is read through file contents here and output to the web browser:

/www/SERVER_NAME/htdocs/profoundui/userdata/html/start.html

Could be the user does not have permission to read the file?

You are correct. The authorities on start.html were incorrect.

Thanks.
