Hi, I'm using webmin on Apache 2.2.3 on Debian 4.0. http://localhost/cgi-bin/bugzilla/index.cgi works and runs a script index.cgi in /usr/lib/cgi-bin/bugzilla/index.cgi but I want http://localhost/cgi-bin/bugzilla/ to do the same but instead I get Forbidden You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/bugzilla/ on this server. Apache/2.2.3 (Debian) mod_python/3.2.10 Python/2.4.4 PHP/4.4.4-8+etch4 mod_perl/2.0.2 Perl/v5.8.8 Server at rockstar Port 80 The /var/log/apache2/error.log shows: [Tue Aug 28 15:20:26 2007] [error] [client 127.0.1.1] attempt to invoke directory as script: /usr/lib/cgi-bin/bugzilla/ My settings in webmin are: Directives For Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ on * Options ExecCGI Indexes /etc/apache2/apache2.conf (679) DirectoryIndex index.cgi /etc/apache2/apache2.conf (680) Please advise.
Fixed it, no thanks to you guys - solution within I've fixed it - solution: my cgi-bin directory is /usr/lib/cgi-bin so: instead of using: ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /usr/lib/cgi-bin - which gave me the problems, I use this instead Alias /cgi-bin /usr/lib/cgi-bin <Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin> AddHandler cgi-script cgi pl Options ExecCGI </Directory> I got this solution from: http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/DirectoryAsScript - took a lot of searching in google to find this. I'm using webmin to paste in the above script fragment in manually. I hope this puts others out of the misery I had to go through. I'm so pleased! http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15042 ( 403 Forbidden (trying to exec dir as script) but apache config file seems OK)
