I was having problems getting front page installed properly on a site. After trying to uninstall fp extensions, and do the same for "allow cgi-bin" access on the raq panel, I found some details on the sun support site saying "telnet in and delete some of the front page files that may appear hidden." After doing that, the extensions would install like a charm...however...

the cgi-script calendar program my client was running ceases to work. it gives the following error:

Execution of (nobody) is not permitted for the following reason:
User not Privlidged.


I realize nobody is the front page user, and when I go in through ftp, the directory is now owned by "nobody" and the cgi files now are owned by nobody.

Any ideas on how to get it back? They would like not to have to reinstall the calendar.

as a side note, when I try to adjust permissions to the site inside front page 2002, it says "/home/sites/sitexx/web/.htaccess no such file or folder.

thanks!

fyi, my solution was to download the whole cgi-bin directory through ftp. Then go into front page and delete it. The re-upload it through ftp. Now the script works again...

wondering how to prevent it in the future.
thanks!
