| What the heck is it and how Do I use it.
I am sure this is not an uncommon question.
I have my own web server Running Apache 2.048 which I have direct access to
the files, directories etc. Which means I don't have to FTP everything to
it.
But I am trying to get some CGI's to run, and well as you can guess, why I
am writing here that I am having problems.
Seems some of the CGI's want to write back to the system ie: counters,
passwords, guestbooks, but I keep running into a wall, with errors.
I have read the Documentation and it says something about CHMOD = XXX and I
don't know where to put it or what this is.
I have also printed and read all the Documentation from Apache's website and
still get no answers to this CHMOD deal.
Does it go into the HTTPD.conf file or into the CGI's files themselves, I
don't know.
Someone Please Help.
Please Contact me via E-Mail only

It would be helpful to see the actual error messages (making no
prediction that I personally will understand them).

CHMOD is *nix file permissions deal. In windows, the parallel concept is
the security tab you see when you right-click on a file and select
Properties...

Rather, the parallel concept would be either a POSIX tool, or perhaps cacls.

I'm not sure what you mean. Are those things in-built ways of changing
file permissions in Windows? If not, is CHMOD a third-party tool for *nix?

cacls is included in normal Windows distributions. chmod might have to be
obtained separately, although I think I have seen a Microsoft (thus not
third party) version, maybe as a Resource Kit tool.

So it is.
CACLS filename [/T] [/E] [/C] [/G user:perm] [/R user [...]]

Cool! Thanks for the update.
