cgi-bin problem

Sunday 01 April 2007 7:47:59 am

Hi, on my vh based Exponential website site almost everything works, but I can't get access to /cgi-bin in order to execute some cgi script, I'm getting an 403 error with the following .htaccess . Any hints?

# Copy this file to a new file called .htaccess in your Exponential root
# to make the site more secure in non-virtualhost mode (index.php used in urls).
#

php_value allow_call_time_pass_reference 0

<FilesMatch ".">
order allow,deny
deny from all
</FilesMatch>

<FilesMatch "(index\.php|\.(gif|jpe?g|png|css|js|html)|var(.+)storage.pdf(.+)\.pdf)$">
order allow,deny
allow from all
</FilesMatch>

# If you see "Forbidden" when trying to access root page of your site
# without 'index.php' appended, uncomment the following "Files" section.
# NOTE: replace "Exponential-3.6.0" with base name of the directory
# where your Exponential intallation resides.
# e.g. base name of "/sites/Exponential/Exponential-3.6.0" is "Exponential-3.6.0".

#<Files "Exponential-3.6.0">
#   order allow,deny
#   allow from all
#</Files>

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule !\.(gif|jpe?g|png|css|js|html)|var(.+)storage.pdf(.+)\.pdf$ index.php

DirectoryIndex index.php

If I comment out the RewriteEngine, the RewriteRule and the <FilesMatch ... directives, access to /cgi-bin/test.pl works.
What do I have to add to my .htaccess?
TIA
