Jimmy,
Sorry I had not read this post before I replied to the other.
You need the permissions on a folder to be readable and executable in order for people
to read what
is in that folder period (not just execute scripts). So your folder needs to be
permissions 755.
Your script must be readable and executable in order for somebody to run your script,
so again
permissions 755.
3 digit permission assignments:
- first position is the file owners permissions
- second position is the file groups permissions (permissions for everyone in the
group of the user
who owns the file)
- third position is the permissions for the whole world.
how to get a permission digit:
4 = read
2 = write
1 = execute
Add all of the allowed permissions to get the permission digit
example, 7 allows anything, 6 is read and write, 5 is read and execute.
Directories are kinda strange because you have to be able to "execute" them in order
to get a
directory listing.
Regards,
David

Hello World
If I logon to the web via (say) server_a and then start this script in server_b
which has the code in its cgi-bin folder
#! /usr/bin/perl -w
#
use CGI qw(:standard);
#use strict;
#
print <<END_of_file;
Content-type: text/html
<html>
<head><title>Server Environment</title></head>
<body>
<h2>This server is:</h2><br><br>
Server Name: $ENV{SERVER_NAME}
Port Number: $ENV{SERVER_PORT}
Server Software: $ENV{SERVER_SOFTWARE}
</body></html>
END_of_file
should I get to see the %ENV details of server_a?
I am getting a 500 error. Permissions are set to 711 for the script and
701 for the folder.
cheers
Jimmy George
