mod_python + pagetopdf (system call is not working)

Reported by: jc@… Owned by: Alec Thomas
Priority: normal Component: PageToPdfPlugin
Severity: normal Keywords:
Cc: Trac Release: 0.10

Description

Inside pagetopdf, there is a system call to generate the PDF from html ussing htmldoc. That works find in my fcgi environment. After setting the Trac to mod_python, the system call is not evaluated.

(the temp files are created, but the result is empty!)

Any ideas? Do i need to set the PATH for a system call, or something similar?

Other modules and plugins work well. e.g. blog, imagegallery, webadmin etc, but another module (same as pagetopdf system) which spans a system call to generate formatted text using links/w3m or similar, is not working

Thanks in advance!

Do you have SELinux or some other security system running, or is Apache running in a chroot?

Nope.

Debian installation with apache 2.2 and mod_python. And apache is configured to run as nobody (as usual) but for cgi's its working. (even that process runs as nobody)

It's me again, sorry for the second post.

Its working when i specify the complete path to the binary e.g. /usr/bin/htmldoc or similar. But the problem with the system call still exists, also with the enscript rendering.

Woops. Permissions on EGG files and the paths where they end up ARE important. Closed.
