Please help! I need this to work, because of a software package that will only work with the cgi-bin setup *above* the webroot, in my case /usr/home/virtdomain/cgi-bin. What I'm trying to do is setup cgi-bin for my virtual domains. I've been able to make it work when the cgi-bin is under the webroot, i.e. "/usr/home/virtdomain/www/cgi-bin" where www is the web root. I do this using "ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/home/virtdomain/www/cgi-bin" in my httpd.conf. When I try to make the cgi-bin ABOVE the webroot, i.e. "/usr/home/virtdomain/cgi-bin" and change the conf file httpd.conf to "ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/home/virtdomain/cgi-bin" I get a 403 error, "Forbidden You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/ on this server.", or the script just isn't found. Any ideas? I can't see why this particular ScriptAlias doesn't work, and I know the permissions are set to 775 for the directory and files. I also have the "AddHandler cgi-script .cgi" in my srm.conf and a virtual domain setup that looks like this in my httpd.conf: ServerAdmin webmaster@bentreality.com DocumentRoot /usr/home/jwenger/www ServerName www.bentreality.com Options +ExecCGI DefaultType application/x-httpd-cgi ErrorLog /var/log/brg-error_log TransferLog /var/log/brg-access_log ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/home/jwenger/cgi-bin/ Help! ------------- The Ultimate in Web Design -------------- Bent Reality Graphics Jack Wenger, Owner info@bentreality.com http://www.bentreality.com 608-233-8571 or 1-888-701-1026
