Re: [cobalt-users] cgi-bin permissions

[Glen Scott <glen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bruce,

The owner of the scripts is not as important as the file permissions.  For 
CGI scripts use:

chmod 700 scripname

This will give the script the owner of the script read, write and execute 
permissions.  If this doesn't work, try 705 then 755.

For more information on running Perl CGI scripts on the RaQ, check out
