If you are getting “Sorry” response after trying suexec, /etc/hosts file must be first place you are looking.
emreyasar@testserver:~> /opt/boksm/bin/suexec cat /etc/shadow
Sorry
Let’s look at /etc/hosts file..
emreyasar@testserver:~> cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.20 testserver.ford.com.tr
10.10.100.2 testserver.ford.com.tr testserver
The IP address of BoKS Master server is 192.168.1.20
As you see there are 2 interfaces on the server. One of them (10.10.100.2) is on private (interlink, iscsi, etc..) network.
As you know, usually, there are at least 3 columns at /etc/hosts file
IP_ADDRESS CANONICAL_HOST_NAME ALIASES
Here is the key:
If you set an alias ,which is as BoKS host database, to a private (non-reachable from BoKS Master server) interface, you won’t achieve to make suexec or other BoKS related operation on that server.
Conclusion:
Set hostname alias to an interface which is reachable from BoKS Master server at /etc/hosts file.
True /etc/hosts file must be like this:
emreyasar@testserver:~> cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.20 testserver.ford.com.tr testserver
10.10.100.2 testserver.ford.com.tr
