I've recently installed a software with a Web Interface on a
RH-6.2 Server.

The Software is accessed from the web by opening the following URL:

myserver.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/mysoftware.cgi

But after I've installed the software successfully, I could not access the page from the web and the following message appeared(knowing that I'm using Apache server).

##########################################

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/mysoftware.cgi on this server.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache/1.3.12 Server at myserver.mydomain.com Port 80

##########################################

How can I solve that???

have you checked your permission settings for that directory ?? what about your httpd.conf file... . ?? can you post it here.. ?? it might be something with the software though if all other settings check out ok... what software is it ??

The software is CWMail which is a program that give the E-mail users an access to there email accounts from the Web. So, it creates a kind of interface between the mail server and the web browser!

The directory permissions are:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@mail cgi-bin]# stat /home/httpd/cgi-bin
File: "/home/httpd/cgi-bin"
Size: 4096 Filetype: Directory

While the cgi page permissions are:
