Your first problem is that you've got some directories here with read permission but no x permission. In that situation, this happens: > ls -l project > total 0 > ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? compile.conf > ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? myproject.conf > ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? novas_fli.so ls can read the directory, getting the filenames, but the lack of x permission prevents it from getting any other information. First chmod u+x doc modules project, then see what you get from ls -l on them. -- Alan Curry
