OK, I figured it out with the rmdir command. All is good now, thanks again for the help.

Well, actually it works great on files, not directories. Any idea how I can get rid of the directories?

Try this:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
unlink ("/path/to/file.html");
print "content-type: text/plain\n\n";
print "The file was successfully deleted";

This script should delete the file.

Hmm...

Maybe I have the format wrong, or left something out. We'll have to get Patrick when he gets back in.

I tried this and got a 500 error:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
chmod (0777, "/data1/myserver/domain/directory");

Hmmm, that smiley face is supposed to be an )

I named it as a cgi file tried to execute it by typing in the url. Any ideas of what I need to do to get it to work.

Thanks

Hmm, sounds simple enough, I'll have to try it. I don't have telnet though, so I'll use as a simple cgi function.

Patrick knows more along this line, but I think all you need to do is write a little Perl Script on your own. It would be pretty short, something like this (Patrick, coreect me if I mess up here ):

#!/usr/bin/perl
chmod (0755, "/your/path/filename.html");

Save it and run the program from the command line through telnet. It should fix the chmod permissions for you.

Yes, a script chmod'ed the file so that I can't do anything with it. I went to www.cgi-resources.com and looked for such a script as described above but couldn't find one. Any suggestions?
