[Lazarus] DeleteFile

[Agustìn Gregorieu]

Thank you for your answer! I've already solved it, using the GetLastOSError I got a "permission denied" message, so after I change some group permissions on the folder I manage to delete correctly the files.

Hi!  I have a CGI program that must delete files from a server and it's
owned by www-data which allows me to read a file but not to delete it,
even though the file has permissions 777.  The folder containing the files
I want to delete has permissions "drwxrwxrwx" and it's owned by
"root:root" and it's files has the same characteristics.

You should check the return value of GetLastOSError.
If that does not tell you anything, try stracing your program.
For a cgi program, what I usually do is create a shell script
which I place instead of the actual binary:

#!/bin/sh
exec strace -o /tmp/cgi.log /path/to/real/cgi/program.bin
