cgi-bin

[nuvan]

I have apache installed on my computer. I'm not running a internet viewable web server, I'm just using http://localhost for practising stuff like java, cgi, and perl.

Thing is, when I try to access a cgi page I wrote, it says I don't have permission. I've already su'd to root, and changed the permissions to 755 for my /var/www, /var/www/cgi-bin directories, and 7777 for my test.cgi file (located in /var/www/cgi-bin)

Even after doing this, I still can't run it from mozilla. Do I maybe have to add myself to another group for apache access?

any ideas? anything else you need to know?

Thanks in advance.

I don't think CGI scripts are allowed by default. Take a look at the apache documentation for how do do it.
