Re: Apache & cgi Problem

[Ray Curtis <ray ray clark net>]

Thanks for the replys to this question, I got it working, not quite
sure how. For some reason I changed the permissions on the files in
/cgi-bin to 777 and it started working, so then I changed them back 
to 755 which is what they were and it still works.
Strange I know, and without any error messages in
/var/log/httpd/error_log it really made it hard to troubleshoot.

I do wish I knew what was wrong but at least it works now.
