apache cgi-bin ScriptAlias :Forbidden ???

[Sebastian E. Ovide]

Hi All,

I'm trying to define a new ScriptAlias to run cgi from another folder. So I
have created a config file and placed it
in /etc/httpd/conf.d/apache.gis.conf

ScriptAlias /mapserver/ /home/gis/bin/

<Directory "/home/gis/bin/">

AllowOverride None
        Options None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
</Directory>

and in /home/gis/bin/ I have

[gis@mapserver-fc14 ~]$ ls /home/gis/bin/ -la
total 8312
drwxrwxr-x.  2 gis gis    4096 Nov 18 14:34 .
drwx------. 29 gis gis    4096 Nov 18 14:29 ..
-rwxr-xr-x.  1 gis gis      93 Nov 18 14:34 helloworld.cgi
-rwxrwxr-x.  1 gis gis 4247004 Nov 18 10:20 mapserv
-rwxr-xr-x.  1 gis gis 4247004 Nov 18 14:34 test
-rw-r--r--.  1 gis gis     164 Nov 18 10:20 tilecache.fcgi
[gis@mapserver-fc14 ~]$

But when I'm trying to access to http://myserver/mapserver/myscript I'm
getting

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /mapserver/mapserv on this server.

Apache/2.2.17 (Fedora) Server at 10.0.1.61 Port 80

Any ideas ?

Check your selinux settings. If it's enabled and enforcing, look at the
context for the directory and files:

ls -Z /home/gis/bin

It needs to allow the apache user to execute the script. See your
/var/www directory.

Also you need to have an +ExecCGI in the config -- you can put it in the
Directory section.
