Interesting offer

I am not a subscriber to TPG internet although I used to be some years ago. 
However they still send me an electronic newsletter and the current issue has 
an interesting offer of a new fairly cheap PC preconfigured for linux with 
office suite etc. but also with an ADSL modem and free broadband internet for 
quite some time.  I dont need a new PC but some MLUG-ers might so I have 
pasted the relevant section below.

I have no connexion or interest in TPG so please dont flame me for this.

TPG excerpt follows:_

           TPG News

            TPG's X-machine is a perfect match for new users and power users 
wanting a second machine. It's a very convenient product, as it's broadband

Apache CGI permissions

Hi all,

I'm a bit puzzled by this. I'm trying to get Apache to allow cgi programs
(perl) to be run in the cgi directory, but I keep getting Forbidden: 403
errors. My httpd error_log file shows: "client denied by server
configurtion: /var/www/cgi-bin/test.pl" But I don't know where the problem
is. I've got the recommended security options, and my relevant config
sections are below - any ideas?

Thanks,

Dave Sheludko.

<Directory />
  Options -All -Multiviews
  AllowOverride None
  Order deny,allow
  Deny from all
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/cgi-bin>
  Options +ExecCGI
</Directory>

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/cgi-bin/
ScriptAlias /protected-cgi-bin/ /var/www/protected-cgi-bin/

I'm also running virtual servers, and I've tried putting a Options +ExecCGI
directive on the cgi-bin <Directory> on the virtual server too, but no joy.
I have of course chmod a+x test.pl.....

Re: Apache CGI permissions

In that 'Options' directive add 'ExecCGI'

Is that what you mean?

Is there any chance it could be something to do with the virtual servers -
the apache docs don't say much about running CGI on a virtual host...

thanks,

dave.

Re: Apache CGI permissions

Can you run the perl script from the command line as the same user that
runs apache?

If so, this puts to rest any permissions problems. If not, does the perl
script have read as well as execute for the user running apache?

Cheers, Ben

Re: Needed: an old PC with two PCI slots

Hi Sam,

I'm off to the caribbean Gardens tomorrow, I might be able to pick one 
up cheap.  Is this for a gateway?

Thanks, Andrew. I managed to get one about half an hour back - not from
the list, but from another source.
