Try replacing <Directory “/var/www/cgi-bin/”> with <Directory “/var/www/cgi-bin”> Thanks Wesley for your reply. Unfortunately that not it, the script has the extension .cgi I find it a bit odd that unless I put the entire path in my web page, the script cannot be found. i.e. I have to put ACTION=”/var/www/cgi-bin/mycgi.cgi” instead of ACTION=”/mycgi.cgi” or ACTION=”/cgi-bin//mycgi.cgi” what do you think?

Did you name those scripts with a .sh extension? If yes, you’ll need to include .sh in your ‘AddHandler’ line after the .cgi. Wesley -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Elmer [mailto:Stephen.Elmer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, July 29, 2005 3:28 PM To: 'users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [users@httpd] cgi scripts not running I cannot get my cgi scripts to run; the script is displayed in the web browser instead. I presume the problem is that the cgi directory is not recognised as a directory containing scripts. I have checked httpd.conf for: ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ “/var/www/cgi-bin/” I do wonder if this line is being seen, unless I put the entire path in my script the file cannot be found. I have also tried adding AddHandler cgi-script .cgi and checked that an Option directive is included: <Directory “/var/www/cgi-bin/”> Options ExecCGI AllowOverride None Allow from all Order allow,deny </Directory> just to see if that would work, but it does not L I’ve checked that the scripts are set as executable and are executable by others (i.e. everyone) I’ve run apachectl configtest gives Syntax ok What I’m I doing wrong, any suggestion would be most greatly appreciated!
