Re: safe mode

Hello Wilbert, I had same problem and I do not have good news for you. Problem is caused by different owner of script file and file (or folder) which need to be manipulated by this script file. To change owner from script (chown) you must have root privilege. I download files which have different owner (usually those files are generated by some script). Then I upload those files again and owner is same like other uploaded files. ________________________ Best regards, Nenad Djordjevic mailto:nenad@diyomisoft.com Diyomi Soft http://www.diyomisoft.com/ Monday, February 17, 2003, 12:50:40 PM, you wrote: WE> Hi all WE> I'm having troubles with the safe mode.
