no permission to access /cgi-bin/test.cgi

[hisham]

Hello every one
I installed Apache and php in Linux box, every thing goes very well, I create a test cgi file and I put it in the cgi-bin directory, but always I get: Forbidden, you don’t have permission to access /cgi-bin/test.cgi in this server, in my httpd.conf I configured:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/

<Directory “/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/”>
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI
</Directory>

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl

PLS. Any body can tell me why I could not run the script.
Thanks in advance.

Hi mate,

Are all of the file permissions correct? If so, are you sure that the file does exist at the exact path you are calling? No hidden extensions on the file ect..

Hope this helps Wullie

I have to agree with wullie on this one. Most permission errors are caused by incorrect permissions on your directories and/or files. From the looks of things, you have httpd.conf configured correctly.

Thank you for your answers

I rechecked all the permission, but now I get: Internal server error, I checked the error_logs file and I found the following error: premature script header error then I decided to put all scripts that should be executed by the mod_perl enabled server in the /home/httpd/perl/ directory by adding add the following configuration to httpd.conf :

Alias /perl/ /home/httpd/perl/

PerlModule Apache::Registry
<Location /perl>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
Options ExecCGI
PerlSendHeader On
allow from all
</Location>

Now all my scripts in /home/httpd/perl/ are running very well, while in the cgi-bin still give me the Internal server error. How can I fix that?
