Permission Issue

[KevinGriffioen]

Hi,

I'm literaly facing my last problem on this project I'm working on. If this gets out of the way, my project is done. So please help.

I programmed every code and it al works when I use "sudo python motor.py". As you probebly figure, it turn a motor on and off.

When I press a button on a html page I wrote, It opens the file, excecutes the code and stops at line 13.....

Then my server gives the error you see in the attachment:

How can I solve this ? I would like to keep using rpi.GPIO instead of WiringPi op Pigpio

Try to add the www-data user to the sudoers file for python:

Code: Select all

sudo visudo

Add at the end:

Code: Select all

www-data ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/python

That is an enormous security hole that you've just opened.

Use pigpiod it is much better because it moves the stuff that needs root access to the pigpio daemon and the web server userid doesn't need any special permissions.
