I have a verio account that only lets me write to a data directory off of the root, but the cgi scripts can only run in the cgi directory. Does anyone know what I need to change to get the files written to the session directory changed to another location?

Thx.

Great question. I'd like to know the same.

The installation instructions say to chmod to 744 if your host does not allow anything under cgi-bin to be writable, but 744 is read+execute. What good will that do me?

** 744 is read+execute **

744 means read, write and execute for the owner of the file (that's the 7). It is only read for the group (that's the first 4) and only read for the world (web visitors) (that's the last 4)

** Does anyone know what I need to change to get the files written to another location? **

I believe that's what the $BASE_DIR variable is for.
