[users@httpd] Why am I still getting this erro
Sorry for bothering you again. I'm about to give up. I have my Apache
2.0.43 set up and running. Great! Now, when I tried to view the cgi-bin
directory from my browser, I get this, "You don't have permission". So I
launch my FTP and view the directory. I can upload, download, view, etc..
whatever I need to do but I cannot set the Chmod. Below is the message that
I am getting from my WS_FTP.

! Chmod failed. It may not be supported on remote host.
I don't understand why the Chmod failed. I have installed ActiveState on my
computer and it's residing in D:\Perl\bin\ directory. I have changed the
path on the cgi files to reflect that. I would really appreciated any help
on this matter.
Oh another thing.. Where did the "user martin" come from when I'm using the
Admin and password for that?
I am using Windows 2000 Pro.

You can modify your httpd.conf and tell it to allow browsing on your
cgi-bin. I do not suggest that but it's up to you :)

This is expected behavior. The cgi-bin (or any ScriptAlias'ed )
directory is not browsable by design since anything in their is expected
to be executed. I do not know if there is a way around this. If you are
trying to call a specifc cgi do so by adding its file name after the
...cgi-bin/ and it will execute.

I may be off base on this, but my understanding is that the CGI
directory is not put in the doc root tree in order to protect it from
being browsed. This is a security measure. You certainly don't want J
Random Cracker going through your executables. It's not a sure fix, but
it is one small step.
