I have a problem in that I can't seem to get a cgi script to work. They all worked perfectly on my other server but i get either a 403 server error or a 500 server error. If I uncomment the line # AddHandler cgi-script .cgi in /etc/httpd/conf/commonhttpd.conf I get the 500 error and if the line is commented out I get the 403 error. I am unsure as to what the problem could be. I have used the perfect setup on Mandrake 10.2
The most common reason for 403 on a cgi script is it's not executable. Make sure the file is modded at least 755 and try that again. If that doesn't fix it, check the web server's error log - it's usually pretty good at giving clues Hope this helps BB
Oh - maybe also check that "Options ExecCGI" or similar is set in the virtualhost directive. I guess this should be there if you've ticked the 'cgi' box in the web site 'basis' tab though.
Still not working The virtual host settings are as follows: <VirtualHost XX.XXX.X.XXX:80> ServerName www.tidy-designs.com:80 ServerAdmin [email protected] DocumentRoot /home/www/web3/web ServerAlias www.tidy-designs.com tidy-designs.com DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php index.php5 index.php4 index.php3 index.shtml index.cgi index.pl index.jsp Default.htm default.htm ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/www/web3/cgi-bin/ AddHandler cgi-script .cgi AddHandler cgi-script .pl ErrorLog /home/www/web3/log/error.log AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4 .php5 <Files *.php> SetOutputFilter PHP SetInputFilter PHP </Files> <Files *.php3> SetOutputFilter PHP SetInputFilter PHP </Files> <Files *.php4> SetOutputFilter PHP SetInputFilter PHP </Files> <Files *.php5> SetOutputFilter PHP SetInputFilter PHP </Files> php_admin_flag safe_mode On php_admin_value open_basedir /home/www/web3/ php_admin_value file_uploads 1 php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /home/www/web3/phptmp/ php_admin_value session.save_path /home/www/web3/phptmp/ AddType text/html .shtml AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml AddType application/vnd.wap.wmlscriptc .wmlsc .wsc AddType text/vnd.wap.wml .wml AddType text/vnd.wap.wmlscript .ws .wmlscript AddType image/vnd.wap.wbmp .wbmp Alias /error/ "/home/www/web3/web/error/" ErrorDocument 400 /error/invalidSyntax.html ErrorDocument 401 /error/authorizationRequired.html ErrorDocument 403 /error/forbidden.html ErrorDocument 404 /error/fileNotFound.html ErrorDocument 405 /error/methodNotAllowed.html ErrorDocument 500 /error/internalServerError.html ErrorDocument 503 /error/overloaded.html AliasMatch ^/~([^/]+)(/(.*))? /home/www/web3/user/$1/web/$3 AliasMatch ^/users/([^/]+)(/(.*))? /home/www/web3/user/$1/web/$3 </VirtualHost>

Can't you use the script if it's in cgi-bin? You can search www.hotscripts.com for PHP search engines. PHPDig is a good one, but maybe there are better ones...
