    Forbidden on cgi files

    Hi there.

    Until recently, I had been using cgi files to collect information sent on form pages without a problem. However, now whenever I click on the "submit" button, instead of the confirmation page, I get a Forbidden error:
    You don't have permission to access <name of cgi file> on this server.
    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
    Apache/2.2.9 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8b mod_mono/1.9 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at intheclutch.x10hosting.com Port 80
    I checked the cgi files and all are on 755 permissions, so I am a bit puzzled at why this happened.

    Are they in the /cgi-bin/ folder?
    Thanks,

    No...but that wasn't a problem before either.

    Edit: I moved them to the cgi-bin folder and appear to work now. Thanks!
