Forbidden for cgi-bin directory?
i would like to access the general 'cgi-bin' directory.
however it gives me error message
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/ on this
server.
also i have the alias directives etc. enabled.
like my alias for cgi scripts points to
Alias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"
it also seem my path to that directory is have 755
permision rights.
so whatsgoing wrong?

OK, have you made sure that the entire path up to the /var/www/cgi-bin
directory is at least 711?
Also, you may want to read here about Options Indexes.

This must be set in order for you to be able to access directory's root,
I think.
