I'm not quite sure what to make of that in the format presented. The only opendir I see there appears to be on what might be line 5?? Anyway, I suggest that you stick some echo's in your code in appropriate places to maybe return the string that is being passed to the offending function, and maybe do a query on the perms of the offending item to see if that gives any clues. > The problem on the solaris machine is that opendir is getting in to the > directory but from that point the server won't let the script read the > files.
