[aclug-L] Re: setting up Apache for CGI

[Andrew Peck <apeck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmm. This thread caught my eye.  I am working with some cgi but I seem to be
having a different problem all together.  I don't get the  internal error, but
it tells me "Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/munky.cgi on this server."
munky.cgi being the perl script.  I have changed all of the permissions on the
file, checked the directory permisions and still no dice. anyone out there got
any ideas? it is an apache server< i dont know what version
