My server is Open SuSE. Starup scripts can vary from distro to disrto. Just use the PS command and look for the CF process. That will tell you how it is running under. Did you install CF on this server? I believe the default user for Linux used to be "nobody". > Is there an XML file under the Jrun4 install that might contain the user > account I'm after? I doubt it. Jrun has nothing to do with the user running the process. That's like looking in "Program Files" under windows to find out what a service is running as. Do you understand how users and groups work in Linux? What group owns the file in question? Also, are you trying to create a new file or just modify an existing one? Creation of files uses the permissions at the folder level above you. Once you find the user CF is running as, look and see what groups that user is in. On my distro /etc/passwd has all the users and their primary group, and /etc/group has all the groups and what users are in them. If you have root access, you can try chmodding the directory that isn't working as a test. These are the questions you need to be able to answer to solve you riddle: What user owns the file/folder in question? What group owns the file/folder in question? What are the user/group/others permissions on that file/folder What user is CF running as? What groups is that user in? Also, another factor to consider if creating files: What is the default UMASK for the user CF is running as? ~Brad ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
