List,

I'm getting an internal apache error when I use my lynx browser to test my
.php script referencing it via the url:
lynx http://17158-accl.nws.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/experimental.php

The error is:
"[Tue Sep  3 08:37:01 2002] [error] (13)Permission denied: exec of
/var/www/cgi-bin/experimental.php failed
[Tue Sep  3 08:37:01 2002] [error] [client 140.90.24.51] Premature end of
script headers: /var/www/cgi-bin/experimental.php"

The script appears to work if I execute it from the command line with:
php experimental.php

I think the problem is in my httpd.conf file.  Do I need the lines:

"<FilesMatch "\.php(\..+)?$">
SetOutputFilter PHP
</FilesMatch> "

Currently I have my httpd.conf with the following lines uncommented for
triggering php.

"# from httpd.conf
<IfDefine HAVE_PHP>
LoadModule php_module         modules/mod_php.so
</IfDefine>
<IfDefine HAVE_PHP3>
LoadModule php3_module        modules/libphp3.so
</IfDefine>
<IfDefine HAVE_PHP4>
LoadModule php4_module        modules/libphp4.so
</IfDefine>

<IfModule mod_dir.c>
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.php index.php4
index.php3 index.phtml index.cgi
</IfModule>

    <IfModule mod_php4.c>
        AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3 .phtml
        AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule mod_php3.c>
        AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
        AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule mod_php.c>
        AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
    </IfModule>

    AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AddHandler cgi-script .pl
AddHandler cgi-script .php

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/""

What am I missing here?

thanks

ps:  Thanks for the suggestion to change my /etc/sysconfig/network file.  Now
my hostname command is showing the correct information for ythe host name and
domain name.
