in console check the permissions on index.pl: ls -l /usr/local/apache/piwi/test/index.pl
you should see something like: -rwxr-xr-x 1 username groupname 11 Oct 27 16:27 index.pl the "-rwxr-xr-x" part tels you who can r(ead), w(rite) and e(xecute) the file index.pl. If instead of "x" and "r" you see "-", you need to change the permissions this way: chmod +x /usr/local/apache/piwi/test/index.pl chmod +r /usr/local/apache/piwi/test/index.pl Check the user under which apache is running: depending on your distribution, it could be nobody or www-data or something else. Find it in httpd.conf, directive "User". Check also the group, in httpd.conf you find it in directive "Group". If the username and the groupname do not match the settings from httpd.conf, change the owner of the file this way (supposing in httpd.conf you find User: nobody and Group: nogroup; change this to fit your settings): chown nobody.nogroup /usr/local/apache/piwi/test/index.pl Read the man pages for chmod and chown (man chmod, for ex.). Read also a good introduction to linux. If you don't you will find no end for your troubles. best luck, Emil Per.
