I went through my test site and chmod EVERYTHING, files and directories, to 777, but nph-build.cgi still gives me a Permission Denied error on Build All. What can I do? Also, I tried to start over from scratch, deleting everything so I could get a frest start, but the user 'nobody' has made some directories, and I can't delete them? How do I a) remove those 'nobody' added dirs, and b) how do I have newly-created directories belong to my user name?

Thanks!

sounds like the directory you're building in is still not 777.

1) http://www.cybernox.com/scripts/wipeout.html

2) only by running nph-build from telnet, not the web

This might be a strange answer to this and a little late but it might happen to someone else so here goes. I had a very similar problem and it turned out that my presence provider had set up my account such that no directory in the cgi-bin itself could be 777. They try to claim this is for our own safety. Oh well try to move it out of the cgi-bin itself and place your files in a different directory (If your provider will let you)

hope this helps someone. Confused the heck out of me.
