Craig & other ppl, maybe you have set the order of permissions wrong (@<IfModule mod_alias.c>), like this: .... Order deny,allow Deny from all ....
where it should be allow from all... and the other way around (Order allow,deny) mine looks like this: ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/SERVER/httpd/cgi-bin/" <Directory "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options +ExecCGI Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> I gave my http and email and other crap a seperate partition, because of massive data loads. -END- > Check to see who is running apache ie nobody or root or apache > Check the cgi directory for permissions. rwx or 700 or 777 or whatever > Check the script ownership and permissions > Whichever user is running the Apache server is the one that needs the access > to the cgi directory > On Thursday 22 August 2002 01:20 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >> David, >> Are you sure that apache has the cgi-bin where you think it is?
