First off, how does it "not like it" --- what error are you getting?

My *guess* would be that the CGI script is running as a user who doesn't
have the permission to write to the file in question.

Also, if you are appending information to a file from a CGI script you are
remembering to lock it to prevent two separate instances of the CGI writing
to the file at the same time aren't you ;-)

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Adrian
