apache & wrong permissions?

Hi all,

I have a (strange) problem with Apache 1.3. I have a bunch of
cgi-scripts (perl) in a cgi-bin directory. The scripts inside are
working well.

I wanted to write a new script, but I can't get it to work. So I
looked into Apache's error_log and found some "permissions denied"s
(from a grep on /var/log/apache/access_log inside this new script).

After that I found, that I can't login into my mailman-admin page
("You don't have the permission") anymore. So since it's here as
well, I guess it's an Apache problem. But I can't remember that I
have re-merged it, only some restarts of the server...

Has somebody an idea and could push me into the right direction plz?
TIA and Greets, Matthias

first thing i would do is to compare owner and permission settings on your cgi-bin dir...

find out as which user apache runs and take a look at your cgi settings in commonapache.conf...

ok, I found out that there is (or was) a problem with my settings in
/etc/apache/conf/addon-modules/mailman.conf (after an upgrade).

Ok, investigating the perl-problem now...
