[users@httpd] Another CGI enabling problem

Ok, I'm using Mandrake Linux 9.0 with Apache 1.3.26 web server. I've
spent quite a while trying to get CGI enable on the system with less
than zero success. Only the "Forbidden You don't have permission to
access /cgi-bin/something.cgi on this server" is the friendly message I
receive.

I would apreciate any help on enabling the CGI on the system

2 things:
1- have you set up your script alias in your conf file to point to the right
directory?
2- by default, Apache 1.3.26 denies access to all but specifically allowed
directories, so, if your alias is set, then you need to allow access to that
directory, specifically.

The usual reply: "What does your error_log say?"
