CentOS - Jan 2017 - CentOS 7 httpd cgi script file not able to write to /tmp

Hi all,

I have a script running in httpd. The script runs fine.
However I want to "echo" some debug information into a file.
The file is never created.

Is there some security thing that has to be enable/disabled to allow a
script in httpd to write to a file?

Thanks,

Jerry

Just a speculation but /tmp is usually world-writable which leads me to suspect
SELinux (or AppArmor with other distros.)

Hi - Thanks for the reply.

I actually have selinux disabled on this box.

Fun fact... If I echo my data to the same directory as the script is
located in it works. But it does not allow writing to /tmp

I'm good with that.

Thanks,

Jerry
