Thank you all for your kind comments & suggestions. I finally found a solution to my problem. My cgi script is in cgi-bin, while the sub-directory where files are supposed to auto create is in html. By setting privileges of that sub-directory to 777, files get created without any problem (and with privileges = 644).
I'm not sure I fully understand why this solution works though... JB _______________________________________________ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
