he was running a home windows server and the file permissions were not correct. He is changing to linux and that should solve this issue.
ckilmer75, did you decide on a flavor of linux yet?
I would recommend CentOS5. Use the 64 bit vesion if your hardware will support it. It is essencially a free version of Redhat, which means the support group is huge and the project is as mature as any linux group.
If you have a CPanel license, I have the 64bit iso w/ CPanel already installed. A Cpanel license will run $25 $40 a month, but there are a ton of good free control panels for linux.
