does the file user_test have write permissions for the user/group nobody? Because apache runs under the user/group nobody when executing perl scripts.. try to see apache's error log and u will get some info.. put some logging in your script to know where you are getting problems.
Ambar ----- Original Message ----- I am developing a webinterface for updating few files installed on my LINUX machine, for which I have created a file user.html and this file calls a file named "newuser.pl", which just takes the data of the user.html form and appends it in a file in its directory name "user_test". The script written in newuser.pl is working fine when i am manually executing it. But when the script is executed from the webpage, it does everything correct except that it doesn't updates the file "user_test". Can anybody suggest why is it happening? ================================================ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in subject header.
