Hi, Thanx for the interest, though i tried all the suggestions posted on
this list, but till now i haven't got a solution, the browser now says
forbidden, which (i think ) means that the server is trying to execute but
has somewhere restriction...
I am in a big fix now, since i am not able to do my work without cgi working
properly,
I will be extremely thankful if you help me sort it out...'
Thanks once again,
Gaurav.
> 1. What directory were you running the .cgi script from?
1. i am running the script file from /home/httpd/html/ i also tried running
it from /home/httpd/html/ScriptAlias/
but both now give Forbidden error message,

2. Yes, Perl

3.permissions are 755, actually, the group and owner were root, bu i changed
it to other users as well as nobody, but still it gives the forbidden error.

5. my version of apache works with only one httpd.conf file , it doesen't
need srm.conf etc...
