Build Page Problem
I seem to be getting errors when trying to build the page on my site http://macinsites.com .

It gives me the error:
Quote:
CGI Error: Permission denied
Message: unable to open home page: /usr/home/macmania/public_html/links/index.html. Reason: Permission denied

I already set that directory to chmod 777, and tried it again, what else should I try?
Thanks in advance!

Hello!

The index may be owned by root and have the wrong permissions as well. You can do a chmod of the index.html that is currently there and try that. Also, re-check the dir and make sure it has the correct permissions.

For testing you can log in as super user and run the nph-build by hand.

Ok, thanks, so I would set the permissions to chmod 777 on the index.html file?

How can I check what the permissions are on a file/dir?

Ok, I tried that, and it works(on the individual , already existing pages), but the only thing not working now, is when I need to create individual pages in the subcategories, I am forced to set the permissions as chmod 777 for each page.
What I need to know is how to strip clean or something, the permissions for my directory, and then just do a chmod 777 for the root, and have it apply to all the sub-directories.

Thanks,
Brian
