apache2 / 403 when executing remote CGI`s
Hey,
I have 2 DNS->RR load-balanced sol8 sparc machines just for serving up www.users.mydomain.com/~NIS+user accounts and am trying apache2 (Apache/2.0.39) on one of these boxes for testing purposes. We do not permit "/~" type accounts to run CGI scripts therefore we have a few basic ones set up for them on another 1.3.26 box -- one of which is a counter that is accessed via HTML 'img src' tags like such:
"<img src="http://scripts.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/hitcounter.cgi?var=value&var=value">"
The apache2 box is giving the ErrorDocument 403 /error/HTTP_FORBIDDEN.html.var page. I couldn`t find anything relevant in the httpd.conf, nor in the archives. I`m assuming that there`s just one simple directive somewhere... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hmmm... Seems rather unlikely, unless something went terribly wrong.
I'd start by upgrading to the latest release of Apache 2, to make sure
you aren't being hit by a fixed bug. Next, I'd try requesting the
hitcounter cgi directly, without using an <img src>.

What does the error log on the server hosting the cgi say?
