 |

I am developing a forum for my project in university. But currently facing technical problems. I hv installed MySQL in my system runing Windows XP Pro and ActivePerl in it too. Both configured and PATH variable is checked.
But the problem appears when I am trying to configure my Apache HTTP 2.2 server. It uses the typical root "...Apache2.2/.../htdocs". I've checked the ScriptAlias directive for cgi-bin, it's correct with the manual i downloaded together. I've enabled the AddHandler directive for .cgi and .pl too. I added ExecCGI in the Options directive under my root directive. But i cannot request any cgi scripts. I receive "Forbidden: 403.....I might not hv permission to ....."
What can i do to configure it? And file permission isnt needed in Windows right? Thx |

You have to add permission to that directority if it is outside the of the htdocs
e.g.
| Code: |
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Apache2/cgi-bin/"
<Directory "C:/Apache2/cgi-bin/">
Options Indexes MultiViews ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
