I'm trying to add a small php script using a user defined tag, but I keep getting this error:

You don't have permission to access /admin/edituserplugin.php on this server.

I tried changing permissions, but no luck.

I'm running version 1.0.2 "Maui" on a shared RedHat Linux Host with Apache.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Peace

Sure looks like a permission problem. Assuming you can access the rest of the admin pages, the permissions on the /admin/ dir must be ok. Only thing I can think of is doublechecking the permissions on the edituserplugin.php file itself. The webserver needs read (and maybe execute) permission on it.

Also, check with your host...  I found that changing things to permissions 777, broke stuff.  My host denies that type of permission rule, but states in its support info, that 755 will work just as well...

Thanks Dee and swathes,

This is a new install.

I didn't change any permissions and the default for all the files in this directory is 644. Is that right, or is this an error during original install?

I guess I'll have to chmod to 755 when I run into an error like this in the future.

Thanks again,

Peace
