Hi
My site (www.mycomputingart.x10host.com) returns the error 403 Forbidden (Access denied).
My site is created dynamically using a CGI script, index.cgi, which is located in the public_html/scgi-bin folder; in .htaccess i rewrite the requested url to scgi-bin/index.cgi.
If I rename the .htaccess and I browse to my site with a internet browser, I can see the contents of scgi-bin and if I put a html file in this folder I can view it. So the forbidden error should not be related to permissions of the scgi-bin folder.
The index.cgi script reads files located in ~/computingart/ and ~/plugins/, which are not in public_html and should not be accessible via internet browsing.
What could I be missing?
:confused:

1. permissions on index.cgi ?
2. language used to execute index.cgi ?
3. permissions on /scgi-bin ?

I guess it was some folder or file with permission set as 777, I changed all 777s to 755 and now it works.
Thank you!
