/home/httpd/cgi-bin
Thats where the cgi scripts are
In srm.conf I have "ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/httpd/cgi-bin/"
Also have "Addhandler cgi-script .cgi"
I open netscape with http://localhost and the index comes up fine.
I then change it to http://localhost/cgi-bin/ and it says
403 Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/ on this server.
---------------------------
Now if I take out ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/httpd/cgi-bin/ from the
srm.conf file and I do http://localhost/cgi-bin/ then I see everything
thats in the cgi bin. (the index of the cgi-bin)
I have all the permissions set to 755 and logged in as root.
-------------------------
And another problem , non related I guess.
I created a user named ken
Set it up with an index.html and when I go to http://localhost/~ken the
index.html comes up fine.
When I create a directory called test and go to http://localhost/~ken/test/
it says I don't permission to access /~ken/test/ on this server.
Did I explain it better ??
Ken
