Hello, I'm having a problem with some directory permissions. I'm a bit of a newbie to linux :-) I have a perl script in a /cgi-bin directory. The directory and the script are chmoded 755. The script runs well, until it comes to the creation/writing of a file when it dies. From the web, it can't create the necessary file. >From the shell, it can however create the file. If I chmod the script and the /cgi-bin directory 777 then the script won't run at all from the browser. Why is that? What can I do? The script can however write to any directory outside the /cgi-bin directory, if that directory is chmoded 777. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for the help, Arpith ---------------------------------------------- LIH is all for free speech. But it was created for a purpose.
