in reply to can't get chmod to work

Do you have permissions to access the directory your files are in? Maybe that is the problem. Try a ls -l and check.

Hope this helps,

    I can change file perms manually using my ftp client - wd I be right in assuming that means my scripts shd be able to change them too?

      Absolutely not. You have user 'you' permissions. Your script will likely run under user 'nobody' and have very limited permissions. Check your system calls as noted below and all will be revealed.

      As for how to solve this do a Super Search for "setuid CGI" in the text. Here is one link SUID?
