[cobalt-users] Having permission problems...

["Frank Volpe" <frank@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi !

I hope someone can help me with this problem.  I'm trying to setup a page
counter for one of my clients.  When I try to upload the files to the server
( to the ./usr/cgi-bin ) I find out that I don't have permission to upload
to this folder. I telnet to my server and I try to change the ownership of
the cgi-bin like this;
 ( [root@www /usr]#  "chown ownername:groupname" )  should I do it under the
root or should I do it under ( [admin@www admin]$ ) and also under the
"chown" line should I replace the ownername with admin as well as the
groupname...

Or just a simple question: how do you change the permission on a folder not
a file ?

Well this proves to you that I have very little knowledge about this. I
thank you in advance for your help.

Note:
I'm under the root,  (  [root@www admin]#  )  and I type "chmod 755
/usr/cgi-bin"
and the error message looks like this

( sh: chmod 755 /usr/cgi-bin : No such file or directory )  If I try this
way

( "chmod 755 cgi-bin"  )  the error message looks like this: ( sh: chmod 755
cgi-bin: command not found

Can you please help me,

Please someone help me.........
