Hi Bob
Thanks for the response. I checked the system error log and didn't find
any Permission Denied errors for the directory in question (xxxtemp).
Below is a listing of the directory which contains the offending
subdirectory 'xxxtemp'. 'xxxtemp' was an older version of subdirectory
'temp'. There is a difference in the permissions, however. But the web
server should have been able to read 'xxxtemp' since the world has
'read' permission. Is this not correct?
drwxr-xr-x 3 tonysf bbsuser 512 Oct 27 2002 temp
drwxrw-rw- 3 tonysf bbsuser 512 Oct 27 2002 xxxtemp
