ReadyNas as a Personal Webserver

Some years ago I developped a homepage which is running properly on a Windows 2003 server as well as on a Linuxserver. I'm using perl-scripts which are accessed from a html-file. On the Readynas Duo in a Website share it dosn't work! Perl is installed but accessing the perl-script delivers HTTP 403 error, access denied. PHP-scripts with the same permissions are working properly. I tried several things but without any success. I'm using Windows 7 64 bit and alternatively Windows 2000.

Who can help me?

Bernd from Austria, so I'm sorry for my English

  • Did anyone ever find a resolution to this issue? I have the same issue - many of our engineer's dump nightly perl tests to the NAS. HTTP is enabled on the directory i am having issue's with, with no security what so ever (aside from initial login needed for a domain user to just access http). The Perl tests (.pl extension) are dumped to this directory - when you go to open it there is a 403 error:

    Forbidden
    You don't have permission to access File.pl on this server.
  • I think you need to set the "+ExecCGI" parameter for the directory in question.
