UBB.Developers Forums Community Development Programming PHP and Server-side Scripting Chmod 550

Some CGI scripts I have made files that I can't even do anything to (other than rename). I can't CHMOD them, look at them, delete them, nothing. When I try, it says 550 Permission denied. What do I do?

Uhh. Why are you CHMODing them to 550

Read my post again. I said some CGI programs I have created files that I can't to anything to & it says 550 permission denied when I try to.

I know what you meant. lol
Anyways, that is the permission denied error. Either you don't have owner permissions on that file, or the extenstion is not understood. (Which, for some CGI scripts, is very easy)

More details would be helpful.

Well, for example, I can't access the directory /cgi-bin/rushbb/Members/memlett.

Try CHMODing them 777 from inside a script.

#!/usr/bin/perl

chmod (0777,"/cgi-bin/rushbb/Members/memlett");

exit(0);

Sounds like a good idea. I'll tell ya how it goes.

I made a file that had that & put it in the /cgi-bin/rushbb/Members directory & ran it. I got a 500 error (the perl path is right).

Do you have telnet access, maybe you could CHMOD them from that. BTW What is your server?

Maybe this before the CHMOD command:

I tried that simple CHMOD script with and without the print line. It works fine.

Did you CHMOD that script to 755 and make it .pl (not cgi)?

Putting "print ("Content-type: text/htmlnn");" & making it .pl worked just fine. Thanks!

Your welcome...
