So all I needed to do was change the ownership of
directoies and the
script to the user I was trying to run it under and all of
a sudden it
worked!
Maybe you could save someone else the same agony by adding
this to the
answers?
Actually, I'm pretty sure that your problem is either your
script crashing because of bad permissions on files it uses,
which is document:
"Even if the CGI runs fine from the command line, remember
that the environment and permissions may be different when
running under the web server. The CGI can only access
resources allowed for the User and Group
specified in your Apache configuration."

Well....Not entirely what I am seeing here. My script was owned by root and
had
0755 permissions. That should give anyone enough permissions to run this
script
and indeed it does. However, some kind of check exists in Apache which
rejects
running of the script as it is not owned by the user itself.
The script was located in donkey/public_html/cgi-bin/start.cgi. All dir's
and files
From the public_html/ and deeper were owned by root.
I did not change a thing, except do a `chown -R donkey:donkey public_html/`
and
After that the script worked!

B.t.w I'm using Mandrake 8.2 and Apache 1.3.23
Almost certainly it was not httpd with the problem but suexec. I have
long argued against distributions which install suexec by default for
reasons like this.
