I am having this same issue...with uploading images. Can someone tell me how to set up the group so that CF, which is running as 'nobody', can upload and manipulate images?
I am running cf5 on redhat 7.2 Thanks, Josh -----Original Message----- From: Dave Phipps [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 29, 2002 5:47 AM To: CF-Linux Subject: Re: File Upload problems - please help!!! Thanks for all the help with this. The problem was solved. Apparently the Coldfusion "user" was not assigned to the group correctly. This was setup again and after a reboot everything is as it should be. Thanks again.
