I can't run a perl script from user informix but can from user ejagger. All permissions on all files and directories in ../Lib/... are chmod 775 *. I'm running on Linux 5.3. Can anyone help me?

Perl Script mm.pl:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use UtilityLibrary;
$x = $Today();
print "today is $x\n";

Script /etc/profile.d/perl5lib.sh:
>export PERL5LIB="$PERL5LIB:/home/ejaggers/Perl/Lib"

user ejaggers:
>echo $PERL5LIB
>:/home/ejaggers/Perl/Lib
>mm.pl
>today is 04/14/2009

>ls -hal /home/ejaggers/Perl/Lib

AvayaTier3, thanks for responding.
I also thought about that. I do have export PERL5LIB="$PERL5LIB:/home/ejaggers/Perl/Lib" on the old system(TRU64) and it works, and I have questioned the $PERL5LIB: part. But if I take that off, it still doesn't work:

pentapp2/home/informix>export PERL5LIB=/home/ejaggers/Perl/Lib
pentapp2/home/informix>echo $PERL5LIB
/home/ejaggers/Perl/Lib

The way you were doing it would append your path to the end of an existing path. There is no existing path and that is why your path started with :/home/ejaggers/Perl/Lib


try "which perl" from each user and make sure the users are using the same version of perl. If they are not, you may want to adjust the PATH or point the shared program at the same perl version. Looks like you have 3 version of perl5.

AvayaTier3, It's a permissions issue.

Okay, I'll try that. Let me ask this, all of the dot files in /home/"userid" are owner and group root. It's that wrong?

that is indeed a problem. The command below from login "root" will rectify this.

chown -R informix.informix /home/informix

Another what to fix the perl issue would be to change the informix and ejaggers to a common group. This way you don't put 777 permission on your files which would allow anyone to remove or modify them.

AvayaTier3,
This is a new box with very few users so far (5 plus informix and root). It's possible that there are problems in the setup, and I'm trying to find them. It seems that only user informix had root dot files, ejaggers had ejaggers ejaggers. I ran the commands you gave me (chown and chmod 777), but informix still can't see my perl lib:

user ejaggers:

Please take a look at the permissions on the dot files because I think the owner/group wasn't the only problem.
 
Upvote 0 Downvote
chmod 777 /home/ejaggers/Perl
chmod 777 /home/ejaggers/Perl/Lib

Then using login informix:

ls -l /home/ejaggers/Perl/Lib
cat /home/ejaggers/Perl/Lib/SqlLibrary.pm

Your permissions on the . files look okay

with 700, nobody can change to any subdirectories of "/home/ejaggers" except the owner.

No,

chmod 755 * will change files in the current directory

Yes:

chmod 755 . will change permissions of current directory and not the files

chmod 755 /home/ejaggers with only change permissions for your home directory.

Before:
drwx------ 7 ejaggers ejaggers 4.0K Apr 14 17:13 .
After:
drwxr-xr-x 7 ejaggers ejaggers 4.0K Apr 14 17:13 .
