Well, clearly Apache is running. (it works on the default file, it delivers a 404 error.) Assuming you have made changes to the conf file, but been unable to HUP the process since then, the changes would not yet have taken effect. Use the proper restart mechanism: kill -HUP `cat /usr/local/apache/logs/httpd.pid` Assuming that path is correct. If you installed somewhere else, change the path accordingly. Other things: 1) Please make sure that the actual directory exists. The configuration does need to map to a real directory. 2) cgi-bin typically does not permit directory listings, so once you have it properly configured, and the directory properly existing, you would expect to get a 403 error. You probably want to put a test cgi script in there, and test that, instead of just the directory. -bluejack /* ------------------------------------------------------------------ *\ | http://www.bluejack.com || reviews of science fiction | | || record of the writing life | \* ------------------------------------------------------------------ */ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
