It could be one of a few things. Firstly, you might not have finished the <directory> tag above (ie the one for htdocs in your access.conf)... but to be honest with you i got rid of the damn line (ScriptAlias) :).. I allow CGI excution from anywhere. Secondly make sure you have the cgi script handler in your srm.conf file. ie. -- part of srm.conf -- AddHandler cgi-script .cgi -- part of srm.conf -- Hope that helps. mark -- Mark Segal mark@club-web.com System Administrator - Club-Web Inc.
