I've installed a php script (MultiList Manager, http://www.webscriptworld.com/scripts/mlm.phtml ) Seems like a great script but, I couldn't get it to work.[nbsp][nbsp]It seems that the script is using 'exec' and other FutureQuest restricted features.[nbsp][nbsp]

Now I can't delete a directory.[nbsp][nbsp]Permission has been denied.

How can I delete a directory owned by apache?

Thanks!
By the way, if anyone has gotten this script to work, I could sure use some pointers.

Vic,

Try rm -rf directory. -f = force deletion, -r = recurse directory.

Thanks! But unfortunately, this still gives me a 'permission denied' error.

Unfortunately this is something that must be done from FutureQuests end. To have the directory deleted you will need to submit a support ticket expressing your need for a directory to be deleted. Be sure to also include a statement saying you give permission for FutureQuest to delete the directory you wish purged.
