Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I am running/testing a script using IndigoPerl & Apache server software on my Windows machine. The script runs fine except that it doesn't process forms. I'm pretty sure it's due to not setting write permissions when 'publishing' to the local server. They're not set because the 'publishing' instructions (per IndigoPerl) say simply to copy the web files to particular folders.
Is there another way to set permissions? Should I even need permissions in a Windows environment? Or am I missing something? If the solution involves 'publishing' via FTP so I can set permissions that way, pls walk me through it, as I've had no luck 'connecting' to a local server with Cute FTP.
I think "write" permissions are not as important here as much as "Execute" permissions. if your script is going to write data in that folder, then "write" permissions will also matter, but since your scripts are not able to execute in the first place, "Execute" permissions should be considered...
And by the way, Windows folders (if the OS is NT,XP Professional, or 2000) do have permissions associated with them...
