What does the following output:

Code:

ls -l /usr/share/doc/wordpress/examples/setup-mysql

My guess is that there are no execute permissions on the file and you will need to make it executable.

hi,

here is that output...

Quote:

bubba:/home/af# ls -l /usr/share/doc/wordpress/examples/setup-mysql
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3401 2008-07-03 11:46 /usr/share/doc/wordpress/examples/setup-mysql
bubba:/home/af#

it appears you are correct. what should the permissions be please?

(i am going to try chmod 700)

thank you.
