I have succeeded in setting up apache on my single computer and get netscape and lynx to communicate with it.
My next problem is that I do not know how to configure apache to allow me as user to execute .cgi-scripts from the server. When I try it I get the following error message: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/sql-ledger/admin.cgi on this server. I want to try out php3 which I have never used before. I get a similar message when I try to access http://localhost/usr/doc/php3/html. My /etc/apache/access.conf contains ------------------------ <Directory /var/www> Options All AllowOverride None order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> <Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin> AllowOverride None Options All </Directory> <Directory /usr/doc> Options All AllowOverride None order deny,allow deny from all allow from localhost </Directory> <DirectoryMatch ^/home/.*/public_html> Options Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch AllowOverride None </DirectoryMatch> <Files .htaccess> order allow,deny deny from all </Files> --------------------------- And permissions on /var/www looks like this: drwxrwxr-x 5 root www-data 1024 Aug 8 21:52 www/ I work as user jhspies and I have added jhspies to group www-data. What else can I do rectify the situation? Johann -- J.H.
