Re: [cobalt-users] Can't get CGI script to run

[Rik Thomas <rikt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is the site frontpage?  If so you need to make sure that the cgi-bin
and all of the files are owned by the site admin and the group in
which they belong too.

so you would do from their root html directory:

chown -R siteadminname.sitenumber cgi-bin
