I've recently installed VBS, a web-based forum in Perl.  I hadn't really
set Apache up
properly beforehand (it's my first attempt).  I have two computers in
network (one
FreeBSD, the other Win95).  They see each other without a problem, and
I'm able to
get the first index page as per Apache, through the server, without a
problem.

The problem is when I try and access any CGI script, no matter where they
are.  Before,
I was getting an "access forbidden" error (fixed by changing the
properties of the files
and directories).  The new error now is Error 500 Internal Server Error
(talking about
notifying the administrator about a problem in the configuration).  I
checked everywhere
I could think of, in all three config files, but couldn't find anything
that could help.
I'm sure there's something I overlooked.  The permissions are set to rwx
for User (here
user is root, of course), and rx for group and others.  Or simply rw and
r for non
executables.

I'm trying to make this work because I need to set up a web forum for a
friend, and
he needs it soon.  The only way I can do it is by using a web server, and
since I've
got one, might as well use it!

Thanks in advance!

Manu
