Hello,

After updating DA from 1.678 to 1.687 with NGINX+Apache and other components which wasn't updated since July
CGI scripts don't work anymore with error:
[Sun Nov 09 21:29:05.850295 2025] [cgi:error] [pid 4190261:tid 4190389] [client 195.248.234.11:0] AH01215: stderr from /home/youmemar/domains/youme****.com/public_html/cgi-bin/for_index4.cgi: suexec failure: could not open log file, referer: https://youme****.com/

Cloudlinux8+DA, cloudlinux support checked and didn't find issues from their side
Can somebody help?

Hello,

Do you still have correct owner- and group- permissions on the file and the parent folder?
Click to expand...
yes, all same as before till domains 711, deeper 755 with correct owner, user's httpd.conf same
 
I've got it working on a default server (without customization):

- DirectAdmin 1.688 ea63f4f12a480267e4ee717b26ddd4d6b7a5912b
- nginx version: nginx/1.29.2
- Server version: Apache/2.4.65 (Unix)
- CloudLinux release 9.6 (Georgy Dobrovolsky)

Bash: 
[root@dev ~]# apachectl -M 2>&1 | grep suexec
 suexec_module (static)
[root@dev ~]#
 
Checked more and noticed that disabling CageFS solves problem, after opening new ticket with CloudLinux team they found solution:
---
I noticed that your server suexec binary md5sum
[root@s86 httpd]# md5sum /usr/sbin/suexec<br>80d3ffb52e4658b80fbdeabb76ee9668 /usr/sbin/suexec

differs from our test
# md5sum /usr/sbin/suexec<br>f6f398d0bdf57c66fe4586e33ecf975f /usr/sbin/suexec

Could you please try replacing the binary with the attached one and let us know whether the issue persists?
Note, please ensure that access flags is 4755
# chmod 4755 /usr/sbin/suexec

this solved problem, but something went wrong with DA updates.
