I'm trying to run a CGI script from the www directory (I've also installed Perl on this computer) and it's giving me a 403 Error, saying that I don't have permission to load the CGI script on my server. Could someone tell me what to do to fix this?

    You should have a directory listed as the cgi directory. have a look at your httpd.conf file it should have a line like

    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/"

    This is the only directory that you can run cgi scripts from try moving the script into there and check the permissions for execute permission.

    Mark.
