What are the file permissions on the cgitest.cgi?

Subject: [Lias] locked out of httpd

I have some more trouble!  Sorry!!

I’m running mandrake 9.0 on a machine and have got all the trouble with Postficx sorted out.

Now I have added a web mail interface to our email – from http://www.adjeweb.com/

I have installed this OK on a mandrake 7.2 machine and am now trying it out on Mandrake 9.0

Everything goes OK until I give the thing a test by going to:

10.12.217.88/cgi-bin/WebMail/cgitest.cgi

 

This should work but I get a message from Apache saying I don’t have permission to access the file   Apache error log confirms this – client rejected.

 These instructions from the supplier of the web mail pl file:

log in as any non-root user with a cgi-bin directory (that can execute perl CGI scripts)

 

I am logged in as a non root user and I have cgi-bin directory but maybe this user cannot execute perl CGI scripts.

 

I have set permissions on the relevant directory correctly.

 

Any ideas anyone?
