I am using OS X with web sharing to serve the pages.

I've set the file permissions to read/write (apple cmd key I,  3 popup

Yet the server says no permissions

What ought I do differently? Were I using an FTP client I would want 
to CHMOD

777. But on OS X?

Thanks! (Any info on CGI in MC is appreciated, I'm going through the

You need to not only change permissions (CHMOD 777) but also set the 
group to www (CHOWN :www) . Otherwise, Apache (OSX's web sharing) will 
refuse to serve those files.


This was a change in Tiger, right? My Panther installation has those 
folders assigned to system.

I don't think there was any change. chmod 755, and the owner as  
anybody should do it.
