Ive change the permissions of my script to make it readable and executable, but the webserver hasn noticed. Why is this?
Symptom: webserver doesn’t notice file permissions have changed. The webserver caches the modification time of the directory, and of all the files within it. If a URL is not available because of permissions problems, and you fix that, the webserver will continue to say that the URL is not available, because the directory modification date hasn’t changed, so it doesn’t bother to check the file itself. Renaming the file to something and back again will make the webserver see the change. This is configurable, however. On the Web Listener configuration page, there is a parameter which determines how long the Web Server will go without re-scanning a directory that appears to have not changed yet, including the ability to never rescan unless the modification date changes.
