CGIWrap
Can anyone help with this really frustrating problem....

I just installed Links2 on my server and can execute add/modify/rate/search/subscribe etc...but admin.cgi says...

Cannot execute script: /cgi-bin/admin.cgi

Reason: User not permitted to execute this script

Im using CGIWrap which I don't like at all, but these are the permissions I have...

cgi-bin and all files in it belong to user "nobody" and group "home"

nobody has read and list permissions
home has read, write and list permissions
other has read and list permissions.

All the cgi is chmodded to 755.

What have I done wrong?

Thanks.

Doesn't CGIWrap have something to do with the location of Perl in the scripts? (not sure, but i seem to remember this problem from an install i did once).

No....the path to perl is correct.

Doesn't matter anyway..I fixed it.

That always happens just after I post here.
