Make sure that the Apache configuration files have suitable "Allow from"
settings. I vaguely recall that I had to enable access for CGI scripts.
Look at /etc/httpd/conf/commonhttpd.conf and locate the section that
looks like:
<Directory /var/www/cgi-bin>
AllowOverride All
Options ExecCGI
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>
The above example allows CGI only to localhost. Replacing the "Deny
from all" line with "Allow from all" will do the obvious.
Don't forget to restart Apache after changing the configuration. This
is done (as root) with "service httpd restart"
