client denied by server configuration: C:/Apache2

[sandhya pawar <sa...@gmail.com>]

I have saved the following file C:\Program Files\Apache Software
Foundation\Apache2.2\Perl\printenv.cgi

#  printenv -- demo CGI program which just prints its environment

  use strict;
  print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
  print "<HTML><BODY><H3>Environment variables</H3><UL>";
  foreach (sort keys %ENV) {
    my $val = $ENV{$_};
    $val =~ s|\n|\\n|g;
    $val =~ s|"|\\"|g;
    print "<LI>$_ = \"${val}\"</LI>\n";
  }
  #sleep(10);
  print "</UL></BODY></HTML>";

and put the following code in httpd.conf

#Alias /perl/ "/Apache2/perl/"
 Alias /perl/ "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/perl/"
  <Location /perl>
     SetHandler perl-script
     PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
     Options +ExecCGI
     PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
  </Location>


But it gives the error 403 in browser and in log

client denied by server configuration: C:/Apache2

That error indicates that there's a reference to C:\Apache2 somewhere
in your httpd.conf that you didn't include in the above snippet. If
there is such a reference, and you don't use it, try commenting it
out, as in the first line you included above:
    # Alias /perl/ "/Apache2/perl/"
