Re^2: CGI script cannot create file.

Alright, heres what I get in the log file

Problem with code: Error open(PAS, '>hf'), 13 Permission denied, 13 Pe
+rmission denied, EACCES
[download]

So it does look like a permission issue, Is there a way to resolve this? Preferably a way that doesn't require my user to do anything (all done with beautiful perl)?

Well, you could run the following at the command prompt as your user, it does use Perl after all ;) `perl -e ' $apache = qx(ps -ef \| grep httpd); @fields=split /\s+/, $apa +che; exec ("chown $fields[0] /path/to/flat/file/directory");'` [download] However setting up a directory with write permission for the uid of the web service directly makes more sense from a certainty of action and security perspective `print "Good ",qw(night morning afternoon evening)[(localtime)[2]/6]," fellow monks."`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Try writing to a different directory :) use an absolute path or chdir, see also CGI Help Guide and Troubleshooting Perl CGI scripts	[reply]
