Well, Swami, I should probably remain silent on this, not having an OSX around - but the quick and fraught with peril answer may be - log in as root.
(I would expect to hear back a few "no, don't do it!" responses from seasoned Unix veterans, because it lets you overcome all sorts of permission problems instantly without knowing what you are doing.) Again, I really don't know enough about your environment but I'd suggest you try it to see what happens.

The mail lists have snippets, but not enough to put it all | together. | | I put a copy of the darwin engine into | | /Library/WebServe/CGI-Executables/ | | But, that's as far as I can get, the terminal.app on -ls returns only my | user directory. "/" returns permission denied...so OSX won't let me deeper | than my own user directory to CHMOD 755 to make the engine executable. | | Anyone figure this out yet? If so, suggest you would help us all to write a | small FAQ on the subject. | | Now, I am wondering if we need to use that library at all, really, if one | just made a cgi-bin directory in one's own "Sites" folder, then one could | set permissions from the terminal.app. But, I don't want to re-invent the | wheel just now. This has got to be simple. | | Hinduism Today | | Sivakatirswami _______________________________________________ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
