permissions ?

[neotrace]

i know chgrp changes the group ownership of a file or dir, but how do u change the user ownership???

[Craig McPherson]

chown

[ZacMacCrac]

chown to change owning user...
chmod to change permissions...

I recommend reading the man page for at least chmod :)

[Craig McPherson]

Actually, chown can set both the ownership and the group ownershop.

"chown root.staff filename" will set filename's owner to "root" and the group owner to "staff".

alright well i guess i've done something wrong in my apache setup. I've used the lastest ver. of apache toolbox, i'm getting an internal server error when i attempt to run a .cgi file from the browser?

Is the CGI file in a properly-defined CGI directory?

Is the CGI file a+x?

Check your errorlog, and it'll tell you exactly why the script didn't execute.

"Is the CGI file a+x?

I don't know the term a+x, I chmoded the cgi-bin directory to "chmod -R 755"

I'm getting the following error:

Okay, I hate to ask the obvious question, but does /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/ubb6_test.cgi exist??

[neotrace]

yes the file is present!

[neotrace]

~bump~, anyone got anyideas about why i may be having problems running cgi scripts?

[JALU]

Is it set to be executable?

[neotrace]

Some of the files on the server will run correctly (i know that's odd), i set the file with chmod a+x filename and still the results weren't postive! I don't quite understand the fastcgi mod, does it have to manually start or does apache start is automatically. Does anyone have a simple cgi script like a counter that i could setup to test my server?
