'chmod 777 /library/webserver/*' Just so you know, the above does not change the perms for the 'webserver' directory (It's difficult to tell where you are trying to write the file, but it sounds like you are trying to write to the "WebServer" directory) Assuming the case is correct when running your statement above (and most likely incorrect in this email), does the dir "WebServer/" allow write permissions for the WebDNA user or group? ie. parent directory needs to allow write access... so if "WebServer" is your parent, you need to make sure it allows WebDNA to write to it. Sometimes virtual hosts will employ different user:groups than WebDNA. Two gems of wisdom written by the Linux monks hidden in the ancient mountains of Silicone Valley: 1.) Those who cannot remember past warnings of using 777 are condemned to hear gem # 2 reapeted to them. 2.) The long journey of enlightenment starts with the first page of a linux pocket reference. ;-) Donovan -- Donovan Brooke WebDNA Software Corporation http://www.webdna.us **[Square Bracket Utopia]**
