There is something wrong with the standard settings in
/etc/httpd/comnf/httpd.conf (or commonhttpd.conf)
Check this bit:
<Directory /var/www/cgi-bin>
AllowOverride All
Options ExecCgi
</Directory>
That might be the one that fixes it.....

Subject: [newbie] perl question
I have currently just installed the newset version of mandrake on my
machine and I am having so problems getting it to run. no matter what
I do it tells me
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/search.cgi on this server.
am I missing a step I have checked all the rights on the cgi file and even
chmod a+wrx search.cgi to make sure to no avail. please let me know
Regards Mike
