Re: cgi data file permission problem
You may need to set selinux attribute (with chcon) for the file you are about to open. If you are open file for writing you may want to use 'httpd_sys_script_rw_t' on both file and it's parent directory, for reading - httpd_sys_script_ro_t for file Valery. --- Aharon Schkolnik [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi.

Re: cgi data file permission problem
Thanks for the help. It is in fact a selinux problem. I may not pursue the issue any further, because I may be dropping the whole project for other reasons.
