Subject: [mSQL] Checking to see if msql is running from a cgi
Date: Tue, 1 Apr 1997 20:31:50 -0600 (CST)

I am running msql2.0B5 and PHP2b10 on my personal account on
my ISP. My ISP does not permit cronjobs. I need a way to
check to see that msql is running before attempting to load
pages which access the database. I am able to determine if
the database is running but I cannot seem to restart msql.

PHP is running on my account with the user suid bit set.
msql root user is me

I get the following error when I try to start msql from
the cgi script which detects that it is not running.

Mini SQL Version 2.0 Beta 5 Pre2

   Loading configuration from '/home/...../elliston/Hughes/msql.con
f'.
Server process reconfigured to accept 214 connections.
   Server running as user 'elliston'.

Error! '/home/...../elliston/Hughes/msqldb' is not owned by 'ellis
ton'

I have tried executing msql2d directly, from run_daemon, from a C
program (whose suid bit is set) and I get the same results.

Any ideas? Or suggestions.

Thanks,
