Does Apache actually support "DIRECTORY" as opposed to "Directory"? The configuration file isn't "old-school HTML", and I'd recommend following the conventions in the documentation as closely as possible until you have something working. > It now gives me a 403 forbidden.

I would imagine that you're not supposed to be editing apache2.conf unless the changes are fairly important and change the global configuration of the server. On Debian/Ubuntu, you're supposed to add files to the /etc/apache2/sites-available directory and then use the a2ensite program to enable the new site. > I also double checked to make sure owner/group/other all have execute > and it does. You could also investigate the ScriptAlias directive to permit access to a particular file or directory as a CGI program (or a collection of CGI programs) at (or under) a specified location; I've found that to be much more convenient.
