Hello, Loay ..

Just to give you some ideas .. there are two aspects to getting scripts to
work: one is that they are executable; the other is that apache allows them to
run. As for the former, the permissions for the script should look something
like this:

-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        10730 Feb  8 09:50 guestbk.cgi

If it's a perl script, make sure that the path for the perl binary is correct.

As for the latter, the apache settings are specified in
/etc/httpd/conf/srm.conf or httpd.conf. It appears that by default, only cgi
scripts are only allowed to run if they are located in /home/httpd/cgi-bin/

Hope that helps.
