403 Forbidden when accessing http://mydomain/cgi-bin/openwebmail/openwebmail.pl
 
I installed latest version of webmail 2.52 on a new CentOS4 box with perl compiled as per webmail requirements. If I run the openwebmail.pl script in the terminal mode (SSH) it runs fine and returns html code for the login page. If I run it in a browser I get the

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

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Here is a relevant portion of my httpd.conf file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin
DocumentRoot /var/www/
ServerName ns5.mtsolutions.net
AddHandler cgi-script cgi
AddHandler cgi-script pl
<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin/openwebmail/">
AllowOverride None
AddHandler cgi-script cgi pl
Options FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
DirectoryIndex openwebmail.pl
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I can run other perl scripts just fine from the cgi-bin directory and if I created a new directory and I can run perl scripts just fine from that directory just not /openwebmail directory. I have read and reread FAQ for openwebmail no go!!

I have it running on a Fedora Box just fine seems like an Apache2 issue ?

Thanks!!

No Go
 
I already have I have cut an paste that config and no go. That may work for some people but it doesn't help me. It seems to be only the openwebmail folder if I create other directory's in the cgi-bin directory they all will run cgi and .pl files

If I copy a working .pl file into openwebmail folder I get the error message ?

I have searched all the search engines and read all the openwebmail files and nothing ? I have found others with the same issue and no resolution ?

Thanks,

AllowOverride None
Change this to:
Code:

AllowOverride Options
since you use an Options statement.
Also check the permissions of the folder and the cgis to see if the user that runs apache has the rights to execute the scripts
