in reply to Wanting Validation for Smacking my Sysadmin (500 error problem)

I'm no Unix expert, but shouldn't that be set to 755 instead of 775? Could that be your problem or was that just a typo?

There is no emoticon for what I'm feeling now.

    Popcorn Dave - While the permissions you suggest (755) would certainly be preferrable, that would not cause the 500 error. 755 indicates read-write-execute for the owner(7) and read-execute for the group(5) and the world(5). 775 indicates read-write-execute for the owner(7) and the group(7) and read-execute for the world(5). You can find a more detailed explanation of UNIX permissions here.
