yaa i know that. its just been bugging me for so many hours and im
running out of things to try, so i thought id try giving it every
access i could find.<br>
<br>
I tried renaming the file, moving it to another directory, but still
apache cannot see it. Everyone else can, even my normal user..<br>
<br>
Ill have a look at your suggestions. <br>
<br>
Regards<br>
