When you create a file or directory, you can define the permissions for the item you are going to create. These are the 0777 permissions given by You. As creating a new directory is nothing else but writing an entry into the directory above, you need write permissions for /var/www/html/piRNA_html/UNAFold/output. The user that needs those permissions is the cgi user, the script will run under. Here You can find some hints on CGI programming	[reply]

The error tells you "You do not have the permission to create the directory", while the permission you give means "after creating the directory, give it this permission". These two permissions are totally unrelated.	[reply]

You've reported at least two completely different errors in this thread, "file exists", and "permission denied". For "permission denied", do this: `ls -ld /var/www/html/piRNA_html/UNAFold/output` [download] What are the permissions on the directory? Do you (or the user this script is running under) have write permission in the directory?	[reply] [d/l]
