in reply to CGI script cannot create file.

Are you really trying to store a password in a text file accessible through the internet, by anybody who knows the name of the file, with an ordinary browser? Please don't do that.

Store your file somewhere else, somewhere outside of the website space. And while you're at it, make it a directory where the apache user has write access to.
