interpreted = N
texte = Yeah, I know, its a bad pun... I am having a problem with the [shell] context. Mainly, that if there is an error, the output is suppressed. It appears as though, if the shell script runs without an issue, that the expected output occurs. But, if there is a problem, no output into WebDNA is visible - you get a blank page. This makes it very difficult to troubleshoot. Is this an issue caused by WebDNA, or do *nix operating systems (in this case OSX) not return visible errors from the command prompt to users that a human operator cannot log into to see (in this case www)? Is there any way that anyone can think of where the output to 'www' can be recorded in the event of an error (such as a log file)? Or can 'www' be turned into a user where I can log into it to test scripts out (without screwing anything else up)? All permissions appear to be correct, so I do not think that is the problem. But, it would be a lot easier to troubleshoot if I could see what was going on. Anyone of you unix gurus have any ideas?
