Since this is an Apple OS X specific configuration, I think the fully correct answer is what I was told on Apple's support web site :<br />

But I am sure that what you put would also have worked :)<br />

Thanks for your help!<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
I'm having trouble getting the web server to run my perl CGI scripts on my Powerbook, which is running OS X 10.3.6.<br />
<br />
I followed this guide :<br />
<br />
<a href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42734" rel="ugc nofollow">http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42734</a><br />
<br />
When I try to access the CGI, I get a 403 message :<br />
<br />
You don't have permission to access /~test/bluewave/tmp2.cgi on this server.<br />
<br />
This is the httpd.conf section :<br />
<br />
&lt;Directory /&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; Options FollowSymLinks<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; AllowOverride Options<br />
&lt;/Directory&gt;<br />
<br />
% cat ~/Sites/.htaccess<br />
Options +ExecCGI<br />
<br />
% ls -l ~/Sites/bluewave/tmp2.cgi<br />
-rwxr-xr-x 1 test test 129 30 Nov 12:09 /Users/test/Sites/bluewave<wbr />/tmp2.cgi<br />
<br />
I can access regular html in the bluewave directory, but the CGI won't run.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?<br />
<br />

Hi,

I can access regular html in the bluewave directory, but the CGI won't run.

Any ideas?
