Hi, Tim.
I'm no Linux or Apache expert myself, but I would guess that it is a
permissions problem. Apache is executing your cgi script with the
permissions of user "nobody". I bet the directory /home/httpd/cgi-bin does
not allow write permissions for anyone but user "httpd". Therefore, when
your script attempts to create a file in this directory, it is getting a
permissions error.
Just a guess.
Jamey.
