It complained a bit about: Warning: SuexecUserGroup directive requires SUEXEC wrapper. which probably comes from my httpd.conf file - the SuexecUserGroup: <VirtualHost xx.xx.xx.xx:80> SuexecUserGroup "#508" "#508" ServerName newdomain.com ServerAlias www.newdomain.com DocumentRoot /home/testdomain/public_html ErrorLog /home/testdomain/logs/error_log CustomLog /home/testdomain/logs/access_log common ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/testdomain/cgi-bin/ <Directory /home/testdomain/public_html> Options Indexes IncludesNOEXEC FollowSymLinks allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost> With all that said, it will now run the cgi scripts fine. My problem probably started when I followed the directions below to build my Fedora Core 4 server: http://www.falkotimme.com/howtos/perfect_setup_fedora_core_4/ Anyways - it's all working for now. Thanks for your help.
