You need to access it like this,
http://192.168.1.10:12345/pri.cgi<http://192.168.1.10:12345/test/prg.cgi>,
because your document root already points to the "test" folder. So either
add a DirectoryIndex Directive pointing to the pri.cgi (DirectoryIndex
pri.cgi) or access it like the url I mentioned above. If that doesn't help
copy the last few lines of your log file "password-error_log" and forward
them. That is where you will more than likely find your problem.
