chmod 777 problem

chmod 777 problem
Hello,

Here is my NEW delima. I am using a hosts service called concentric. They do not allow for chmod to be used from the FTP. Instead they rqeuire that you use their control panel to set permissions. They only have read and write settings so I called to see what was up with that. They person said that there is not problem that programs will execute so go ahead and install the program. I did, set permissions and mounted them by hand on the control panel and finally got into my admin screen.

Now the pages wont build. I called my host again and they said the the pages should self execute. I believe that not using chmod 777 is my problem. I am really stuck now in that all pl scrips seem to need 777.

My question is this.

Is it possible to build the pages myself by hand (instead of using the build comand in the admin screen) and write the URLs in the links.cgf file or will the 777 problem also cause my added links to not show up.

in otherwords should I scratch the whole thing or is there hope with just read and write???

Laura
