Hi,

I have a directory under htdocs called pictures with permissions set to 774.
I Believe I am able to upload a picture and store it into that directory.
But, when I attempt to link to a picture in that directory, I get this error:
You don't have permission to access /pictures/picture-1000011.jpg on this server.
The picture files have permissions set to 644 and I have tried changing it to 664 with no improvement.
The picture is linked to in a html page that is created via a perl script in the cgi-bin directory and I the link is set to:
../pictures/picture-1000011.jpg

Thanks for any help!

I recommend that you chmod the /pictures folder to have 765 permissions.

I did that and it worked! Why?
Apparently giving public execute rights did the trick.
