Re: Re: Re: permissions...

Wow, thanks for all the input guys. I just got this host yesterday morning. I do not know much about his Apache installation. Everything about his server is here:
http://pjmco.ca/html/packages.html

I am going to direct him to this page for a better explaination of what is going on, as I won't be able to explain it very well.

I don't know if it makes any difference, but his hosting is virtual. I searched through his testimonials page to find someone with a subdirectory in the bin. I found one. I pinged their site and we have same ip, so I am assuming that we are on same server. Their extention was .cgi (mine was .pl), so I tried one of my .cgi scripts in a subfolder and nothing...

With virtual hosting your vitual apache server is configured in a virtual hosts section at the very end of the httpd.conf file: `#<VirtualHost *> # ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com # DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com # ServerName dummy-host.example.com # ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log # CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common #</VirtualHost>` [download] Your host needs to stick the appropriate script alias lines in here... The documentation and how to-s are extensive. You could start by reading http://www.apache.org/docs/vhosts/ and http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/cgi.html These docs are short and accurate. cheers tachyon s&&rsenoyhcatreve&&&s&n.+t&"$'$`$\"$\&"&ee&&y&srve&&d&&print	[reply] [d/l]
