(b) check the permissions on /usr/local/www: ls -ld /usr/local/www It should be: drwxr-xr-x 6 root wheel 512 Mar 23 17:01 /usr/local/www (or similar). (c) as user "root", try making a file in the directory: cd /usr/local/www mkdir cgi-bin If this fails, it may give you clue as to what's going on (no disc space maybe?). Maybe that particular directory is there, with stuff in it? But the port should check for that. Hope one of these helps.
