[users@httpd] cgi permission denied for C++ but not for perl

[Ivar Bratberg <ivar@xxxxxxxxx>]

Problems with cgi permissions.
Hello, I have just intalled Apache 2.0.1 on fedora core 4, gnome
I manage to use a perl script for a cgi script by putting the perl file 
"first.pl" in /var/www/cgi-script/
BUT
if I do the following:
Make a simple c++ program writing to stout "hello world"
try to compile using g++ 4.0.something,
renaming the file to world.cgi
chmod 755 world.cgi

i get

You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/ttt.cgi on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use 
an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

In the errorlog it says :
[Tue Aug 23 15:53:56 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (13)Permission 
denied: access to /cgi-bin/world.cgi denied
[Tue Aug 23 15:53:56 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not 
exist: /var/www/html/favicon.ico

I have tried to fix thins in the httpd.conf file, even though I think it 
should not be necessary:

-----------snip-------------------

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"
#
# "/var/www/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased
# CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.
#
<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
   AllowOverride None
   Options ExecCGI
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
</Directory>

I hope somebody can help me with this.

Best regards,
IB
