    Hi all. Firstly sorry if this isnt the right thread to ask this question here. I've a websites that has a hosting under Hostgator and using wordpress theme.The theme requires me to change chmod 777 to a certain folder in order for the theme to function entirely.The technician from Hostgator said that by default Hostgator wont allow 777 chmod setting due to security purpose unless if I created a cgi script ... Can someone help me by pointing me to any good places to learn this script... Any suggestion would be helpful for me.

    Thanks ! :)

    it's very simple here is a short example of how your CGI should look like:

    That's all you can change 0755 to whatever you need
