[rt-users] Can't do setuid although perl was built with setuid.

[Camron W. Fox]

Alle,

	I've been running RT3 with no problems for about a week now (RH7.3, perl5.8
w/suid, fastcgi2.4.0, apache1.3.27). Yesterday, the FastCGI handler failed
with the following message:

"/usr/local/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi" has failed to remain running for 30
seconds given 3 attempts, its restart interval has been backed off to 600
seconds

	I checked the archive lists and found info about sperl and rt-mailgate, but
nothing has been changed in /usr/local (where perl and RT3 live) that
pertains to RT, and perl was built with setuid. Anyone have any ideas?

Best Regards,
Camron
