[users@httpd] ScriptAlias file permissions deny execution

["DeVelvis, Ralph (US SSA)" <ra...@baesystems.com>]

I am trying to understand why Apache gives me file permissions deny
execution error on a cgi script for the following configuration.

 

Apache v1.3.26

Solaris 8

nobody user is the user process running Apache

nobody belongs to the group which has read/execute privileges on the
directory and files, however, all privileges have been removed from
other

The cgi directory is aliased using ScriptAlias

 

 

Thanks

What *exactly* does the error log say?

What happens if you do
su - nobody
cd /full/path/to/cgi-bin
./cgi-script
