But now that it's out on a public forum that you set all the permissions to 777, you should seriously consider turning OFF write permission for anyone that shouldn't have it. htsearch doesn't need write access to anything, and in all but a few rare circumstances should you set a file or directory writeable by all. This usually means using 775 or 755 for directories, and 664 or 644 for regular files (unless they also need to be executable). -- Gilles R.
