in thread code problem

I set chmod 755 for cgi-bin directory and set the same 755 to file folder. The file stored in separate folder into web directory, I am owner of this file. There is local(system) path to file in this code. I have found then that chmod has remained rw -r -r for this file folder, not 755 set by me. So, probably this server only allow set 755chmod to cgi-bin directory. The server is: Operating System: BSD OS 4.01, Web Server -Apache ver. 1.3.12, Perl version 5.0.

It seems, they service have many various restrictions(as free service), so this probably code not work in this server.

Thank you

    Hence the suggestions I made in this response Re: Re: Re: code problem. See items 1 & 3.

    In the code I gave you add:
    to see what userid your script is running as. This will give you some idea of how to permission your files.

    Most hosting sites run their httpd as "nobody" for security reasons. A handful of cluefull hosting providers will run the virtual httpd as the userid of the account owning the hosted site. Since this is harder to do a lot of sites (and you said this was a free site so they may fall into this category) opt not to provide the level of service.

    If this is the case (they are running httpd as nobody) then you will need to have the files you want your script to read set to a minimum of 0444.

    Be aware that you have to make sure you do not put sensitive information into that file as anybody can read it now.

      print p("This script runs as `id`");

      In what place I should add this line in test code? Is this important?

          In what place I should add this line in test code? Is this important?

        Someplace between print start_html; ... print end_html;

        Other than that, whereever you want it to appear in your finished HTML.
