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

["Matt Syracuse" <syracuse@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gary,
What you are experiencing is a BUG in the LINUX Kernel preventing you access
to creating the directory.  The limitation is 32 sites. It requires you to
FTP
in as the SITE ADMIN to perform this task.  It has been a royal P-I-T-A
...with
over 200 sites on a RAQ3.

See Cobalt's Knowledge Base article #785 for a solution..I haven't tried it.

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.

Gary
