On page 1 of Part 2: I am stopped at the chmod line: cd /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables chmod 755 test-cgi Using the Terminal command line the directory is set but the chmod yields: chmod: test-cgi: Operation not permitted I have confirmed that a file, test-cgi, actually resides in the directory, CGI-Executables. My command line looks like this: [localhost:/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables] beanie% chmod 755 test-cgi Beanie

  I have the same problem...
  
  Is it because my user is not allowed to perform this kind of operations? How to resolve this issue?
  
  thanks.

  I'm getting desperate. I am the sole user. How can I get permission to set priveleges for file, test-cgi?

  Thank you flackery. "sudo chmod 755 test-cgi" responded with a new prompt and "http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/test-cgi" brought up some information but not "gobs of it".
