Hi there, I was working on a script for uploading images using cgi & perl. I have the syntax below, for some reason when I submit from my html form I get:
Software error:
Permission denied at /home/jlisec01/public_html/cgi-bin/upload.cgi line 39.
the html form is fine, also the permissions are set to 755 for the cgi file.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use CGI;
use CGI::Carp qw ( fatalsToBrowser );
use File::Basename;
$CGI::POST_MAX = 1024 * 5000;
my $safe_filename_characters = "a-zA-Z0-9_.-";
my $upload_dir = "/home/jlisec01/public_html/images";
my $query = new CGI;
my $filename = $query->param("photo");
my $email_address = $query->param("email_address");
if ( !$filename )
{
print $query->header ( );
print "There was a problem uploading your photo (try a smaller file).";
exit;
}
my ( $name, $path, $extension ) = fileparse ( $filename, '\\..*' );
$filename = $name . $extension;
$filename =~ tr/ /_/;
$filename =~ s/[^$safe_filename_characters]//g;
if ( $filename =~ /^([$safe_filename_characters]+)$/ )
{
$filename = $1;
}
else
{
die "Filename contains invalid characters";
}
my $upload_filehandle = $query->upload("photo");
open ( UPLOADFILE, ">$upload_dir/$filename" ) or die "$!";
binmode UPLOADFILE;
while ( <$upload_filehandle> )
{
print UPLOADFILE;
}
close UPLOADFILE;
print $query->header ( );
print <<END_HTML;
