problem running program as user
 

I have a box at FDC that I run a Medal Of Honor game server off of also i run a stats program to record in game stats. but the stats program will not run because it has to create .html files in the www dir where it is telling me it has no permissions. i made the permissions on the folder 777 and still the same error...

I am not a Linux expert by any stretch, but here are a couple of ideas that might help:

1. Check both the file and directory permission sets. The files may permit changes, but the directory permissions may not.

2. Check the permissions on the executables used to make the file/dir changes. If these executables do not permit the average user to execute, then the system will also fail.

Not much, but I hope it helps.
