Hello,

If you 'chown' the file you're trying to run to a username other than root
(or maybe even admin, I fergit) the script should execute, given that:

1) the #! line shows the proper path to perl (you can find perl by typing:
"which perl" in the shell)
2) the file is chmod'd executable, i.e., "chmod 775 filename.cgi"
3) the script does not contain fatal errors and is configured properly

Take care,
David Sutherland

Hi.

Why is it that whenever I set up a cgi-bin directory and attempt to browse
to it I get a 403 error (Forbidden).    If I try to access any scripts
within this directory I either get the same 403 error message (if I bypass
cgiwrap by using AddHandler cgi-script .cgi in the .htaccess file) or a:

|----------------------------------------------------------------|
|CGIWrap Error: Execution of this script not permitted              |
|----------------------------------------------------------------|
|Execution of (root) is not permitted for the following reason:      |
|
|
|
|
|User not Privileged.
|
|----------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|

which seems like the cgiwrap version of the 403 error.

The cgi-bin and all within is chmoded to 755, I have set up the
ScriptAlias -- that doen not seem to be the problem.  If anyone has any
thoughts on the subject - any input will be much appreciated.
