Yes. > If so then what permissions should be set & the > images directory should be owned by which user ? Well, it needs to be writable by whoever the cgi-bin process is running as. This might well be some special user like "www" or "nobody". One solution is to ensure that the cgi-bin user belongs to some special group, and make the chart directory writable by that group. This avoids making it world writable. -- Stephen Turner, Cambridge, UK http://homepage.ntlworld.com/adelie/stephen/ "This is Henman's 8th Wimbledon, and he's only lost 7 matches."
