Lemme try this a different way.. I have turned on websharing and I try running http://myaddress/cgi-bin/test-cgi and I get the 403 Forbidden error. I've tried chmod'ing the file, CGI-Executables directory, and the ones above it and I get "Operation not permitted".One of two things is wrong. Either:
1. The permissions on the file are incorrect - it needs to be world readable and executable.
2. Apache is misconfigured.
I'd say that the first option is by far the most likely - when I first installed OS X, Apache was configured correctly, but scripts in /CGI-Executables were not executable for some reason.
Have you looked at Apache's error log, by the way? What does it say there?
