Subject: Re: [users@httpd] Newbie - need help with running cgi from a userdir

Bao - I added your suggestion to the "Userdir" block which was in 
"default-server.conf". It's a step forward because now I get an error 403 
"Access forbidden" message instead of a printout of the script. I get this in 
the error log:

[Fri Feb 20 15:40:28 2004] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Options ExecCGI is off 
in this directory: /home/geraint/public_html/cgi-bin/inv-main.cgi

Thanks.
