I get the following error, copied from my lynx screen, ignore the "#": ######################################### 403 Forbidden Forbidden You don't have permission to access /www/mail/mmprood.cgi on this server. _________________________________________________________________ Apache/1.3.6 Server at cx559415-b.ftwal1.fl.home.com Port 80 ########################################## This is my first stab at running a web server. It is a FreeBSD 3.2 machine. I used tar and placed the files in /home/www/mail. I used the default install for apache 1.3.6 and the default start of web files is /usr/local/share/apache/htdocs. I have a symbolic link "www" that moves you over to /home/www/ were I have more HD space. Following the faq, I used "chmod 755 mmprood.cgi" and the first line in the cgi correctly points to perl. I even ran "perl mmprood.cgi" from the command line both as root and a normal user and it ran correctly. However, when using my browsers, IE5, Netscape4.61, and Lynx, I get the above error. "ls -l *.cgi" shows: -rwxr-xr-x 1 nobody wheel 139081 Oct 18 06:53 mmprood.cgi -rwxr--r-- 1 nobody wheel 990 Oct 17 06:00 simple.cgi My guess is something in the apache.conf file since "perl mmprood.cgi" crtl+d gives me that stream of html, but I don't know enough about apache.conf to understand. When I first pointed my browser to mmprood.cgi, the browser just displayed it as if it was a text file. I fixed that by uncommenting a line in the apache.conf file and then rebooted the server. As you can see, I know enough the get myself in trouble. Any thoughts? Cheers -Mark ********************************************** The box said "requires Win95 or better"...
