[Answered] System error: Permission denied

[cyber]

Hello,

I'm trying to install HLStatsX Community Edition, by following this tutorial: https://zppv.boards.net/thread/1074/tut-hlstatsx-ssh-easy-installation

Sorry for posting the link on the forum, I didn't want there to be a "wall of text" in the thread.

I'm using HLStats:CE 1.7 (Original Source), PHP version installed on the server: 7.2.34

In step 6 of the tutorial, for the Module Include Path, I'm using /usr/bin/perl   (I'm not sure if that's the right path)

I had to create the folder usr, bin and perl manually, because they didn't exist.

In step 9 of the tutorial, when running the cron jobs tasks, I get the following error message, in all 3 cron tasks: 

Task "cd /usr/bin/perl/usr && ./run_hlstats start" completed with error in 1 seconds, output:

execv("/bin/bash") failed
system error: Permission denied

 

Task "cd /usr/bin/perl/usr && ./hlstats-awards.pl" completed with error in 1 seconds, output:

execv("/bin/bash") failed
system error: Permission denied

Task "cd /usr/bin/perl/GeoLiteCity && ./install_binary.sh" completed with error in 1 seconds, output:

execv("/bin/bash") failed
system error: Permission denied

 

Is it possible to fix this? 

If anyone tries the installation and succeeds, can you please let me know? Maybe I made a mistake in one of the steps.

Kind regards,

cyber

I think you might be disallowed from cd'ing into /usr/bin/perl since that is a system folder.

/usr/bin/perl is the correct path for the system-wide perl installation. But looking at your tutorial, I think in your case you need to make your own perl folder for custom scripts (not /usr/bin/perl). The default path for your home folder is /home/YOUR_USERNAME. So for example if I want to access the perl folder at the top level of my file manager the path will be /home/hippo/perl (because my username is hippo). If your username is cyber then the path will be /home/cyber/perl.

Try replacing /usr/bin/perl to /home/YOUR_USERNAME/perl in the above scripts (i.e. cd /home/YOUR_USERNAME/perl/usr, cd /home/YOUR_USERNAME/perl/GeoLiteCity, etc.)

You'll need a VPS to run this. We do not allow this requirement on the shared hosting (specifically the inbound connections), so even if you got it to run, it'll be useless.
