Topic: Chmoding CGI-Scripts

[dtroy]

I've created an Intranet Site and I'm sticking in an Ibay that has scripting turned on, I'm using WS-FTP to acesses the Ibay I can upload ok [bar MP3's] But I can't seem to be able to chmod any CGI Scripts .. any ideas .. the error I get is

550 CHMOD not allowed on /ibays/intranet/cgi-bin/gm-comments.cgi

What I do to CHMOD the files is using SSH. Log in through a SSH client (e.g. putty) with your root username and password. Then locate the file(s) and chmod them. Easy!

Let me know if you need more detailed info!

Good luck!

Ok one more thing, I found that when the files are chmod'ed they do not seem to work unless you do this.


chmod 775  [the files that want you to 705 the files]

then they will work.

never do anything less that 775 on cgi-scripts that you want to be read and exicuted.

that is my 2cents
