It is such a simple idea and now that I have it working it works great. I changed lots of bits and pieces but I think my problem was something to do with settings in apache in the end. It started working when I set a server name. I did the suid root thing as well. jh Ireland <TT>>Here's some stuff to try.</TT> <TT>>1) Set a password on the Apache user (once you've done your testing,</TT> <TT>>you should edit the /etc/passwd file and replace the ! with a *). Log</TT> <TT>>in as apache, then run scanimage, and see what errors (if any) you</TT> <TT>>get.</TT> <TT>>2) If that works OK, then it might be an issue with the temp folders</TT> <TT>>that it's writing to. Have a read through of the script file that</TT> <TT>>actually scans the image, and see where it's writing the file to. If</TT> <TT>>it's somewhere obvious, check the permissions to that location. With</TT> <TT>>your logged in user, try creating a file in that path.</TT> <TT>>3) If all else still fails, lookup how to make a file suid root. It</TT> <TT>>should be fairly straight forwards (Remember - Google is your friend!</TT> <TT>>:) ) so check it out and then try running it up again. If it still</TT> <TT>>doesn't work, then you've got problems that you should probably</TT> <TT>>address with the script author!</TT> <TT>>Hope that helps :)</TT> <TT>>Jon "The Nice Guy"</TT> <TABLE CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" WIDTH="100%"> <TR> <TD> _____ jh jh@clongowes.net </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </BODY> </HTML>
