Ech, apache, CGI problems.. Mac server.

[gimli10567]

Im runnign the Apache version that came with mac OS 10.2. I though i configured it right, but apache does not want me to be able to run CGI. I have the perl version that came with my OS.

I thought i changed the proper things to allow CGi to be ran, but when i put it into WebServer folder) It doesnt work, just gives me the directory listing. When i type it in directly like so: shazink.myftp.biz:81/webmin/config.cgi it gives me a 403 Forbidden message. That tells me that CGI isnt allowed to run on my server. What files do i need to change, and what? Ive went to plenty of sites, trying a bunch of different stuff, but i dont think any of it worked right.

i was told to change the folowing lines like so:
<Directory /home/*/Sites>
AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Includes ExecCGI
DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi
<Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Limit>
<LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
Order deny,allow
</Limit>
<LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</LimitExcept>
</Directory>


And these two also:

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl

AddHandler server-parsed .html

Thanks for you help!

Oh, knew it was soemthing simple. Thanks, though is there a program or something that will change the permisions for me? Or a quicker way? I dont want to be changing that for like 400 files :/.

Thanks again for your help.

Run this from the terminal.
chmod -R 0755 /path/to/your/directory/

One more question, you know anything about Webmin, if not, are there any good alternitives for cpanel? Free ones I mean, I want to test stuff out for now. They dont have to be really suped up with alot of features, I just would like something to test out. Know of anything?

Thanks a bunch!

Plesk, DirectAdmin, and WebMin are the best cPanel alternatives.
