Help with website plugin

Hi. Am new here and a recent convert to OMV. Am liking what I see.

I have installed the website plugin but am unsure of how to configure it next. I have reused someone elses perl scripts for a simple web-based admin task, and the perl scripts are not executing, just showing up as perl text. I have checked they are executable. Even trying a very simple two line perl file to display hello world shows the text!

I did try a search, perhaps more using the right search criteria, but didn't come up with anything useful. Is tehre somewhere I could look? Am I just being a noob and missing a config option to add cgi-based scripts in a different area to the executable path?

Any and all help appreciated.

Edited to add - running the latest version of OMV - 0.4.16

Thank-you.

Still can't get and perl scripts to execute.

I added a + to the ExecCGI option in the website - though the file zzz-omv-website-vhost in the sites-available directory and nothing. I also get permission denied if I try and run a perl script from the command line, even with execute permissions (0755) and as root.
Running ./admin.cgi ....

-bash: ./admin.cgi: Permission denied

file admin.cgi
admin.cgi: a /usr/bin/perl -w script text executable

Start of perl script

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# filename:			admin.cgi
# author:			xxxx xxxxxx
# date				2002-2006
# comments			Perl script for admin tasks. See /admin/admin-notes.txt
#
#					PERL SETTINGS
use CGI;
use Time::Local;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use strict;
use Fcntl qw(:flock);
#					SYSTEM FOLDERS
my $HSERVER="http://xx.xx.xx.xx";

Perhaps when I can run a perl script without typing "perl admin.cgi" I might get something from the web interface!

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Still struggling!!

So I started with a debian install with no gui interface and root and a user with their home directories, no problem. Created a test perl script (hello.pl - just three lines - see below) and sure enough it executed on the command line no problem.

Went through the OMV install on top of the debian install and when logged in locally, I could still run the script.

After configuring a few disks to have shared data, I put the hello.pl script in the shared directory and got the

-bash: ./hello.pl: Permission denied

permission denied problem when doing ./hello.pl

Yet, in root's home directory (i.e. not shared under lvm/openmediavault), the script executes fine!

So, before I raise a bug, anyone any ideas?

Contents of hello.pl:

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-Type: text/html \n\n";
print "Hello World";

Thanks. At last something to go on.

Is there a way to turn that off for selected shares - I didn't see that in the fstab, but then maybe I didn't know what I was looking for....
