[cobalt-users] CGI-Bin Problem - Raq 3



I just tried to install cgiemail on a virtual site. I put the cgi-bin
under /web. I get the following error when trying to run the program:

CGIWrap encountered an error while attempting to execute this script:

Error Message: Permission denied 
Error Number: 13 
This message usually indicates there is a problem with the script itself. Often this indicates either that the #! line of the script is incorrect, or the script was uploaded in binary mode instead of ascii mode. Check to make sure that the script does not have control-M's at the end of every line. That will prevent it from executing. An easy fix that takes care of this most of the time is to put '#!/.../perl --' instead of '#!/.../perl' on the first line of the script. 

I have set permissions correctly - at least I am pretty sure I have. I
may try setting up a global cgi-bin for this program, but I would
still like to know why this set up doesn't work.
Any ideas?
