Can someone help please...
When I try and log in I get: Forbidden Error
You do not have permission to access /cgi-shesgothelp/comm/community.cgi.
http://www.shesgothelp.com/...p/comm/community.cgi
community.cgi is 755 but I can't get in....
Thanks
Doug

It may be an Apache configuration problem. I can't think to other kind of problem.

Thank you...........
Do you have a suggestion?????

Doug

I haven't too much ideas.
Well, /cgi-shesgothelp/ doesn't seem to be a standard cgi-bin directory, which suggests me that in the background there may be some unusual changes in Apache config.
I should see the Apache config to find if there is any unusual solution in your virtual hosting settings.

Ah, but I see that
http://www.shesgothelp.com/cgi-shesgothelp/forum/gforum.cgi?
forum is working fine in that cgi directory. OK, so /cgi-shesgothelp/ is correct and has correct permissions.

Then you should also check the /comm/ directory permissions, and have the same as /forum/ has.

Best regards,
Webmaster33

Nothing seems to work, is there someone from Grossamer that can help...

Doug

You should also check that /comm/ and /forum/ directory owners are the same.

forum/admin is 777, admin.cgi 755

comm is 777 community.cgi 755

Doug

I was asking OWNER, not permission number.
Owner is a name, like shesgothelp or nobody, or cgi, or something.
You can see it, if you type LIST in your FTP client.

I don't understand.....

Doug

Is this what you are talking about

-rwxr-xr-x 1 nobody shesgothelp 3931 May 17 18:36 community.cgi

Doug

Oh, well. This is what we needed:
The 403 error is caused because of the group highlighted with red.

You should change group to shesgothelp.

Problem solved.
Next please

Come one: you should just do a Google search on following:
change user group unix permissions

And here it is:

By the way, great design and idea for a site, hope it does well for you...

</not a clue>

Not sure if you fixed this... but take a new look at your folders. Many web-server's won't let you CHMOD a folder to 777, and still run Perl scripts from inside (due to security holes). Try setting the folders to 755, and *hopefully* it will work then :)

Please upload the attached test script into the same folder, CHMOD to 755, and try running from the browser. Does it work?
