Server experts - perl question
 

I have not had a problem like this before;

I am self taught at writing perl and a small perl script which writes unique html pages from one cgi folder, on a few domains which reside on one server

the problem I have encountered while testing this script is that the pages created cannot be deleted or changed or even overwritten by the script, because it seems they are written by the 'nobody' user

I tried chmoding them or deleting them by ftp, but still get a 'permission denied' error.

Is there any way of configuring the flock or omitting the flock to allow these pages to be manipulated by ftp or other

I know that I can have the server admin, go in and delete the test files, but I'd like to set it up so I don't have to do this every time

thanks for any suggestions,

Hi,

try chowning the folders you are going to write to.
'nobody' is your web group? anyway chown it using multiple users, like nobody:ftpcronetc. That might do.

I can help ya..

Thanks I will ask the admin to do that for me, and see if that helps
