Change the auth directory permissions so the script can write to the folder. Should be 0777

i'm using chmod to 0777 but the server does not recognize the command

Are you using an FTP client to chmod? If so then you may have to telnet to your host instead.

I'll run through the basic procedure, but all web-hosts are different, so it may not work exactly for you.

Win95/98:
1) Start
2) Run
3) "telnet"
4) Connect
5) Remote System
6) Enter your web-hosts address
7) Connect
8) Log in w/ your username/password

Once you're in, you can use the following:
cd <directory> - change dir
pwd - find out what dir you're in
ls -l - list the contents of a dir
chmod <mode> <file / dir> - chmod a file or directory.

So, basically you'll need to go to your DBMan dir, then type chmod 777 auth

Good luck!
