i can't set the permissions in the root dir

"Make a New Directory" does shows up as 700 under cgiwrap even though script says 0755.

Could you give us some more information?
Are you on a Unix or NT box? The CGI error message page if any?

Thanks

it comes up with cgi error.
I can only change the permissions on file that i uploaded with the script.
even if they are 777

Can you mail me a copy of the CGI error page?

Thanks

under cgiwrap for some reason:
mkdir ($fulldir, 0755);
comes up as a chmod 700. In order to correct this I added:
chmod(0755, $fullDir);
following it. Voila! works :-)
