Ron,
OK, I got into work this morning and tried it on a RedHat
6.1 machine running stock Python 1.5.2. I also got the
403 error, it seems that in this version it doesn't like
listing the directory to find the implicit document name
"index.html". Thus, in step 7 below, I tried:
lynx http://localhost:8083/index.html
and then it worked, as did the test CGI script, which
also does not use an implicit document name.
