[cobalt-users] Permissions - Admin vs Site Admin - FrontPage 2000

["Gary S. Ownsby" <gary@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All.

I have started to experience a problem which I think is related to
permissions.

Scenario:

1.  I create a virtual website on my RAQ3 and assign it a unique IP address.

2.  The "FrontPage Extensions" and "Enable CGI" checkboxes are set to ON
when created.

3.  The FrontPage website is published using the SITE ADMIN
username/password.
    The website does not contain a CGI-BIN subdirectory (where I usually
load
    Perl scripts).

4.  I FTP and log into the base IP address (not the website IP address)
using the RAQ ADMIN
    username and password, navigate into the appropriate folder
www.domainname.com/web and
    attempt to create (MKD) a CGI-BIN subdirectory to load my Perl scripts.

5.  I am denied permission "550 cgi-bin: Permission denied."

I have approximately 50 websites loaded to this Cobalt RAQ3.  On most, the
above process works fine and I can upload the Perl script via ASCII, set
permissions to 770 and all works perfectly.

Why is this a problem now and only a problem on some websites?  Am I going
about this all wrong?  I thought ADMIN username/password had access to
everything on the RAQ and its websites?

May I have your thoughts and suggestions?  Thank you.
