While trying to get a cgi script working on a PLesk managed box, I came across this error in /etc/httpd/logs/suexec_log

cannot stat program: (blahdeblah.cgi)

An explanation of this vague and misguiding message can be found here. It seems that’s a complaint because of the use of a symlink to point to the script.

Sloppy systems programming
