Hi there...

A short time back, I migrated from RH7.2 to 9.0 and upgraded to Apache 2 from the 1.3 series. Ever since the upgrade I have been unable to configure apache to allow users their own cgi-bin.

The user web space works fine, a few users are running web sites without any issues, this is strictly a cgi-bin issue.

Any cgi moved to any user cgi-bin fails to run with the following error logged:

(I edited out the IP for this post, thats not in the log like that)

Now... I can take the same *.cgi and mv it to the server's cgi-bin and it works fine.

To rule out permission issues, I chmod'd to 777
the owner of the bin is the user and the group is the httpd group

here are the applicable entries in the config:

I've been banging my head against the wall with this for a couple days now, if anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Thout I'd try bumping this back to the front page once...it got buried quick and well, to be honest, after yet another day of kicking it around, I am now completely out of ideas. Everything I read indicates that I have it configured right I MUST be missing something, but damned if I can see it.

This config worked fine in the 1.3 series...is there a safe way to back down the version without screwing with my user's data?

Having same Issues... if you get an ansewwr before I do, please send me a message. My post is at

I had the problem you are having till I added the code in the default test.cgi found in the default apache cgi-bin.

After I put that code in httpd2.conf, I got the erros in my post.

Have you used a ScriptAlias directive? I didn't see one listed in the config stuff you posted. You may also want to try adding the -w switch to the shebang line of your script and see if that returns more useful information to your error log.
