are you running IIS ?

i had many problems trying to do the equivalent of chmodding files with IIS, it involves setting permissions if you are running IIS

plenty of tutorials on the web, too long to explain and get into here.

if you're running any model of apache, then i recommend you do the same .

and if you are not running your own sever then i believe you probably havent uploaded the entries.txt file or double check that you have chmoddded it

sorry to be of little help

Hi,

True, if you are on a Windows server CHMOD won't work, you need to make sure the entires.txt file is writable. I never really used IIS so can't help you here either...
