Post subject: 403 - no permission on script on server
Archived from groups: alt>www>webmaster (more info?)

Hi all,
For a client I had to set up a form script on their server. When I
did, the script responded "403 - you have no access to script.pl on
this server". I then uploaded a very simple 'hello world' script to
this server, which got the same 403 result.
Permissions on both script and directory are set correctly (resp. 755
and 711, as per the host's instructions), yet it keeps giving a 403.
The host says it's a coding issue. I say it's a server / host issue.
Can anyone point me in the right direction of what could possibly
cause a 403 on a script that has the correct permissions and actually
does work flawlessly on a different server?

htconfig/htaccess ???
Can you access an HTML page in the same directory?
Is the !# line correct in the Perl script ?

If your file permission is 711 maybe it will work with
file permission 755 (add read permissions to the file). >> Stay informed about: 403 - no permission on script on server |

Sorry, me again. If your server has a cgi-bin
subfolder for Perl scripts, try running your
script from the cgi-bin subfolder. >> Stay informed about: 403 - no permission on script on server |

Thought of that, but all there's in .htaccess are a couple of
redirects and a rule to not show images in indexes. There's only one
line that I'm not 100% sure if it could interfere:
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
And I don't have access to httpd.conf of course.

Yes, no problem.
> Is the !# line correct in the Perl script ?
Yes, 100% equal to what they said it should be. (#!/usr/bin/perl)

Did that, doesn't help. Host's instructions say that they can run from
any directory, including a 'home-made' cgi-bin.

No, directory is 711, file 755. Already tried with both 755, didn't
help.

Okay, commented out that line, and now it works 
Thanks Matt!

Do they provide you with Perl (or other CGI) programs that actually work?
Some providers already put a script or two in the cgi-bin.
Did you check your error log? It might be that it has more information.
It doesn't sound like a coding issue to me.

Didn't to me either, but I now know it's because of "Options Indexes
FollowSymLinks Includes" in the .htaccess file. Now I have to figure
out who put that line in there and why, as if it was put there for a
reason, chances are that it screws up something else if I comment it
out.
