AuthName "Authorization Required"

AuthUserFile C:\websites\cgi-bin\.htpasswd

Require user lefu

Ummm... you don't have access to your CGI-BIN folder because you don't have acesss to cgi-bin!

 

All you can do is run scripts from there. Anything accessed will be interpreted as a script. Directory indexes are not allowed and this is a script-only folder if properly set up. No amount of adding config files (should) be able to break this.

 

Is your problem one of being unable to launch/run CGI scripts??

 

You'd need to better define "work" and "work inside"

thanx I am trying that now, I will just place a python file and see if it does work, first is to configure python apache, they did work fine with no errors.

 

you comment means a lot, and now I can work with it.

If the typical "Hello world" script works then I'd guess you're "cooking with gas"

Otherwise there might be some underlying problem relating to the script being launched.

 

If on Linux you may need to set appropriate permissions I guess using chmod - however I'm not a Linux guru - still, it's worth checking before delving too deep into Apache.
