gpg/cgi

[Erik Wessel]

The solution which finally worked for me was to set the HOME 
environment variable in my script:

$ENV{'HOME'} = '/path/to/nobodys/directory';

It apparently doesn't matter what user you run the script under if 
this variable is not set, it will fail.  It wasn't set by default on 
my server, which is a pretty run-of-the-mill apache 1.3.12 .  Hope 
this helps.
