Is SELinux enabled? If so, the problem will show up in the audit logs: ausearch -c httpd -m avc In general, you'll want to 1. make sure the security context on the CGI script and the directory tree that contains it is httpd_sys_script_exec_t, and 2. make sure that no SELinux booleans are in the way, httpd_enable_cgi in particular: getsebool httpd_enable_cgi If it's set to "off," then you'll want to enable it: setsebool httpd_enable_cgi=1 -- Paul Heinlein <> heinlein at madboa.com <> http://www.madboa.com/
