You have two sets of permission you have to work with here...the rights
which you set correct with 755 and the ownership of the file. CGI Wrap will
not run a script which belongs to any of the following groups: admin, httpd
or root....

So, if you used FrontPage to publish the script to the site it is owned by
httpd site# and won't work. If you FTP'd as admin or wrote the script online
at root once again it won't work. To fix this telnet to the box and move to
the folder where the script is and CHOWN the file to another group (I use
the username of the user set as "site administrator" for the site and the
site number which is what would be applied by default to any file uploaded
via FTP if you were logged in as the site administrator.)

Hope that helps.
