nph-build fails on New
I have looked for the answer to this question on the forum, but can't find it. I am not very familiar with scripts and I apoligize in advance if a similar problem has been covered elsewhere.

I have been running nph-build.cgi from telenet and it has been working fine. Last weekend my web host did some "upgrading" of the server and now the nph-build.cgi file runs until it trys to build the new.shtml file in the New directory, resulting in an error message saying Permission Denied. The chmod on the New directory is 777 and on the index.shtml file is 777. The .cgi files are 755.

I have asked the web host what "upgrade" they did on the server, but cannot get an answer. I suspect that they installed a newer version of Perl.

Here is the message I get:

Error Message : unable to open what's new page: /usr/home27/amenkart/publi
c_html/New/index.shtml. Reason: Permission denied
Script Location : nph-build.cgi
Perl Version : 5.00503

Any help would be appreciated.
