Hello, I did check to see if my cgi-bin directory did have world r-x and it did not. Once I made the change I was able to see this again. Thanks. Richard Sharpe I remain to have a problem accessing some directories in Samba. This was working earlier today. My intranet is trying to access files it normally views that it can view. My intent earlier today was to add an additional shared directory for current users including more users as well as keeping the first users privately intact on the first shared drive. I changed the name of the first shared directory and created a new directory with the older name. They all temporarily worked; however, independently. I then received a "can't set guest error" for the original shared directory while the later remained active. after 13+ hrs in my office, I decided to change everything back to what it was. I am not however able to: 1. Access directories from my intranet. (the reason the intranet is in this equation is that the contents of the shared directories are viewed thru the site. 2. I am not able to view my home assigned from SAMBA I would like to know also if I need to start the smbd and nmbd daemons after making changes to the smb.conf. I am still awake and alive. Help is appreciated Loay Oweis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Richard Sharpe wrote: > Samba shares and Web accessible documentes, whether or not they are on an > intranet, are usually two different things. > > You may be having ownership problems. httpd usually runs as nobody.nobody, > and if the directories in your shares area do not have world R-X > permissions, you may not be able to see them from a browser.
