CGI Scripts

Hi all,

I setup my httpd.conf file following the directions on this site:

http://www.cgi101.com/book/connect/mac.html

I am able to view .html pages hosted in my "Sites" directory, but I can't view .pl or .cgi files.
When I try to open a .pl file in my web browser, it says "Forbidden. You don't have permission to access /~hsujd/printenv.pl on this server."
I checked the permissions of my .pl file, and it is world executable.
I checked the apache error log, and it says that "Options ExecCGI is off in this directory: /Users/hsujd/Sites/printenv.pl"
In my httpd.conf file, I have the line "Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Includes ExecCGI"

Could someone please help me?

Thanks,
Dan

Did you check whether the CGI module in active in /etc/httpd/httpd.conf ? Just in case

LoadModule cgi_module libexec/httpd/mod_cgi.so

Yes, this module is active, but thanks I was unaware of it.
