in thread How to configure Apache for running perl scripts.

Now I have added the lines you have specified..
But now it is telling that "you do not have permission to access a.pl on this server".
BUT I DID "chmod 777 a.pl".
In /httpd/logs/errlog file it is mentioned that "optionsExecCGI is off in this directory /var/www/html1/a.pl"
suEXEC mechanism is enabled

It is probably the permissions on the directory. You do not want the program to be rwx by the world, 755 should be sufficient - also with suExec it will protest at running things that appear to be owned by someone other than the user the script will be run at. /J\	[reply]
