There has been an error or misconfiguration was encountered while
attempting to complete your request.
The file /usr/local/apache/share/htdocs/12345/./test.cgi returned an
error. Please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you feel there is a
mistake or if you'd like to report this incident.
Is there really a ~12345 user in your passwd file with a home
directory of /usr/local/apache/share/htdocs/12345/./ ?
Are you sure the /./ isn't causing problems?
What is your UserDir directive set to?
