I think the error message is pretty clear; Permission denied!!! So, you slutty sysadmin, fix the permissions on that directory or file! (i'm guessing that your Apache user doesn't have write permission there) to ask a question is a moment of shame to remain ignorant is a lifelong shame	[reply]

Hey Insaniac, I know it will work if I change the ownership of the directory /var/named to root.nobody but I don't want to change the ownership. Is there any way I can run the script itself as root.named or as a root user instead of 'nobody'? Thanks for the help till now.	[reply]

have you tried suEXEC already? http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/suexec.html although, for this particular situation, i would not advise it. I would store the files you want to create in a temporary directory (e.g.: /tmp/new_domains) and then have cronjob check that directory and perform the necessary actions ( checking the file for correct syntax, existing files, ...) to ask a question is a moment of shame to remain ignorant is a lifelong shame	[reply]
