I have created a new calendar based on the default calendar.
I am unable to delete it. The manage calendars screen shows default as being selected although I have selected the new calendar.

HELP!

[Howard]

Further info. The files are "owned" by "nobody."

I was able to delete the calendar by performing some unnatural acts.

1. I had the ISP remove the directory.
2. Using calendar script, I removed the reference to the directory.

This really should not be necessary. Next time around it should be easier.

If the code could be changed to write the files with the correct owner rather than "nobody", that would probably solve the problem???

** The files are "owned" by "nobody." **

Files created by a script will often have permissions set that way. In such a case deleting them can be done by programming another script to do the deleting.

I didn't realize that is what you were asking.

** If the code could be changed to write the files with the correct owner rather than "nobody", that would probably solve the problem? **

That could easily be done just by running the script through cgiwrap or running Perl suEXEC (ask your host). Either way, all files created by your scripts have your ownership.
