I uploaded a CGI file to f2s & hypermart . Original file permission in the server is 644 . I call this CGI file from http and it run without 500 error. I look at this file permission again which become 755 . Guesss the webserver do automatic chmod ? I look at log file and see the following message "error: file has no execute permission but fixed" . Anybody how can they do that ?

Thanks

Try chmoding it back and see if it still changes.

Of course , I chmod this CGI file back to 644 , 600 even 000 but when called by apcahe , it was chmod to 755 again. Just wonder what kind of technology they're using ?!?!
