Hi Frank,
I would log under root then do :
chown owner:group /path/to/folder
or, to recursively change the permissions of the directory as well as the
rest of the files under that directory do this :
chown -R owner:group /path/to/folder
Regards,
Kevin

Subject: [CGI] Having problems with permissions !
Hi !
I hope someone can help me with this problem. I'm trying to setup a page
counter for one of my clients. When I try to upload the files to the server
( to the ./usr/cgi-bin ) I find out that I don't have permission to upload
to this folder. I telnet to my server and I try to change the ownership of
the cgi-bin like this;
( [root@www /usr]# "chown ownername:groupname" ) should I do it under the
root or should I do it under ( [admin@www admin]$ ) and also under the
"chown" line should I replace the ownername with admin as well as the
groupname...
Or just a simple question: how do you change the permission on a folder not
a file ?
Well this proves to you that I have very little knowledge about this. I
thank you in advance for your help.
Please someone help me.........
Frank
