[Kamalendu Chakrabarty]

Sir,
I have installed Fedora-9
I am unable to configure CGI-BIN.
What I intend to do:
1)	Computer is stand alone
2)	I want to practice perl scripts and to test that at my computer as
http://localhost/cgi-bin/xyz.cgi
3)	I am getting error message as:
4)	I have changed permission for kamal.cgi as 755
5)	From command line perl script is working

I do attach the following files in .txt format

a)	The httpd.conf file as httpd.conf.txt
b)	The error message as error.txt
c)	kamal.cgi file as kamal.cgi.txt

I have one more query – what is the path of .htaccess file. How to
open it? – does it open with vim editor?

Waiting eagerly for help.

I would like to see error_log entry when you make the query, that will
tell you the error. Even error txt message tells you to look there.

tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log on one tab on server will help you check it.

1. And to which directory did you copy the kamal.cgi file to?

2. Who is the owner of the file? Can you do a "ls -l kamal.cgi" and
tell us the output?

htaccess file is not created by default .......... if you create it manually
create it in the document root as provided in httpd.conf.
