Not sure what you're meaning here Joseph. Unix will return a permission error to the Web server, but in my experience the server will then send back a 500 - Server Error to the client. There is no HTTP Permission Denied code, do you mean 403 - Forbidden? > Internal [and infernal] Server Error is really a big bag that could > contain anything that keeps the script from starting up. Absolutely: a simple syntax errror will cause the same thing. But it is so common to edit a Perl CGI script and forget that the permissions may have reverted to 644 that it's worth proposing as a first-try solution. > The text returned with the error messages helps.
