[error] Options ExecCGI is off in this directory: C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/DMAT/index.cgi

I am new to Apache. I installed Apache 2.0.43 and I have it running on my local PC. I have a file index.cgi that is working on another local PC but will not work on my PC. I have been working on this issue for two days straight. Here's a clean copy of my httpd.conf file.

I have tried changing some of the options in the directory listing and some times I get error 403 forbidden : Options ExecCGI is off in this directory: C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/DMAT/index.cgi

All my files are located on C:/Program Files/ Apache Group/Apached2/htdocs/DMAT. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This should work but how do I get it to work outside the cgi-bin directory along with other .tcl scripts? Example, in the directory C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\DMAT, I have three different programs listed in this directory. They are .cgi, tcl, and html. How can I get it to run in the same directory?

Thanks,

Jim

Yikes! I wouldn't. Or if you must, don't do this for very long. Just use this as a troubleshooting device and plan to remove this later, or at least limit the path somehow. leaving it as you're showing here would be a huge security risk just waiting to be exploited. Best to only allow CGI ability in very specific directories of your server like the cgi-bin.

dbunder

Aware of that, but I'm assuming that his web directories are only accessable by him. I do the same on my webserver for convenience. And I know I won't be exploiting anything. :) I should have clarified on that a bit.

Donboy

I also just realized he's on a Windows machine, so his would really need to be C:\ instead. Hey, I'm a Unix man myself, so it looked natural to me. ;)

dbunder

Uggh, I haven't had my coffee today.
