==> error_log <==
[Wed Jun 11 16:45:44 1997] access to /home/httpd/html/frontpage.cgi.html
failed for localhost, reason: file permissions deny server execution
I'm running with "Options ExecCGI" and srm.comf contains
# To use CGI scripts:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
----------------
In other news, it seems that the comment at the bottom of the default
srm.conf is incorrect. 301 would be the correct status code for redirection
"301 Moved Permanently".
# 3) external redirects
#ErrorDocument 402 http://some.other_server.com/subscription_info.html

PS: Roy Fielding's ABOUT_APACHE file is wonderfully written. I really like
the description of how the apache group works and his description of why
apache is free. (Of course I don't suppose this has much place in your bug
database. ;)
