Yes, I checked and root does own the file.  Why are files owned by root
restricted despite the rwxr-x-r-x permissions? Who should I chown the file
to for it to be accessible?  Sorry, I'm still new to this.

Also this does not seem to be a problem outside the cgi-bin.  What special
characteristics does a directory named 'cgi-bin' have as opposed to any
other directory (I always thought that 'cgi-bin' was just a naming
convention).

Thank you.
