Below are the settings I have in my httpd.conf for cgi-bin:<br>
<br>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"<br>
<br>
<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin"><br>
AllowOverride ALL<br>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Includes<br>
Order allow,deny<br>
Allow from all<br>
</Directory><br>
<br>
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi # probably isn't needed<br>
<br>
In addition, I've tested that a script named "test.py" which is located directly in the cgi-bin dir can run properly. Have you got any suggestions I could try? Below is the error that is reported in the error log:<br>
<br>
Symbolic link not allowed: /var/www/cgi-bin/mapserv<br>

Roger,<br>

You are sure you restarted apache after making the change right? I'd<br>
think it would work.<br>
<br>
However, the other thing you can do is just copy the mapserv from the<br>
FWTools/bin_safe directory to your cgi-bin directory. The bin_safe/mapserv<br>
is just a small script with hard coded paths and it should work from anywhere.<br>
