((--Additional Info:--)) 1. This htdig was installed from the RPM's on Mandrake Linux 8.1.
2. I can't find anywhere that COMMON_DIR is defined. Should this be set at boot-up so that when Apache calls htsearch? If COMMON_DIR should be set during boot up, where do most of you set it? I have looked at the thread including http://www.htdig.org/mail/1998/12/0299.html. Even after looking at the archives for help with this problem, I still receive this message: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/htsearch on this server. Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer/1.3.20 Server at 192.168.0.2 Port 80 Notes: 1. htsearch is in /var/www/cgi-bin and points to /usr/bin/htsearch. 2. I am able to run other cgi's in /var/www/cgi-bin, they have the SAME PERMISSIONS as htsearch: ls -l /usr/bin/htsearch -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 85844 Aug 29 15:48 /usr/bin/htsearch* ls -l /var/www/cgi-bin/ total 216 -rwxr-xr-x 1 apache apache 169 Jan 22 16:50 cgitest.sh* lrwxrwxrwx 1 apache apache 17 Dec 17 15:03 htsearch -> /usr/bin/htsearch* -rwxr-xr-x 1 apache apache 268 Aug 24 10:00 printenv* -rwxr-xr-x 1 apache apache 777 Jan 22 17:16 test-cgi* -rwxr-xr-x 1 apache apache 204255 Sep 16 04:14 wwsympa.fcgi* 3. Here is the version info: /var/www/cgi-bin/htsearch --version /var/www/cgi-bin/htsearch: invalid option -- - usage: htsearch [-v][-d][-c configfile] [query_string] This program is part of ht://Dig 3.2.0b4-072201 4. Here is the listing of the database directory: ls -ld /var/lib/htdig/ drwxr-xr-x 2 htdig htdig 4096 Jan 22 20:00 /var/lib/htdig/ 5.

Why would other cgi's with the same permissions run, and htsearch fail with 403 Forbidden??? ====Keith __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
