I'm working with apache and it works great. But there are also CGI files involved.When working with them, I edit them with Macromedia Dreamweaver. After saving with Dreamweaver, my permissions are GONE and the file is inaccessible on the browser via '/cgi-bin/'!! NOTE: this happens with both invoking DW from within Cygwin and by Windows Explorer. I'm using Win98SE so I cannot use ntsec. The only way out seems to be sticking to Cygwin tools _only_ for editing, even 'vi' if you insist. But that's would be a bad compromise... Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
