tibberous Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I have an old script that needs to run as CGI Perl. I moved it to a new server, but am not able to write files, even in a directory that is set to 777. I am thinking this might be because Perl is running as an unknown user, and doesn't have execute permissions to the directory containing the directory I am trying to write too - which means it can't set it as it's working directory? Does anyone know how I need to set my permissions to let Perl be able to write files? I tried chown'ing the web directory to the user who owns it, then setting the UID on the Perl script - that didn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
