On Fedora, the user/group is apache/apache. The directories and files are owned by root/root. My directories and files are all rwxr-xr-x. At least, the ones that I have looked at. That should mean that everyone can execute the scripts in my cgi-bin directory. My httpd.conf file also specifies allow all in the cgi-bin directory directives. Once I get it working I will change that to be more restrictive. I suspect that somehow I am specifying the directory wrong and it isn't using the right cgi-bin directory. The permissions are correct and it should work if it was using the intended directory. I created a cgi-bin directory under my home directory and changed the httpd.conf file appropriately (I think) and that didn't make a difference. Yes, I made sure that the directory and file permissions were correct. I stop and then start apache when I modify the httpd.conf file rather than simply re-start. I do this from the services app. I have Mason installed and the Perl scripts are routed through it. I wonder if that could be causing a problem? I have tried commenting out the Mason portions of the httpd.conf file and that didn't make any difference. Is there a way to see the entire directory name in the error log?
