Change the permissions on the file so Apache has permission to run it, or make a copy with different permissions if you don't have control over the original file. If the program needs to run *as* root, it would need to be setuid, which is very dangerous if not done with extraordinary care. ----Scott. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
