HTTP Error 403 Forbidden

Hello All,

I have a Windows XP system running Apache 2.2.3 with PHP 5.2.0. I am unable to get the upload status window to show. I get a HTTP Error 403 Forbidden. Saying that I need to login to the page. I have been unable to find anywhere to turn this off and would like to know if anyone knows how to disable this. I am using Xupload 2.5 demo. I would like to get it to work properly before I purchase the pro version. Please Help. I have Enabled the IUSR_computer to full access on that folder. If there is anything else I need to do please let me know.

Thanks,
James

Do you have Perl installed? Did you put .cgi files to cgi-bin folder?

Yes I have perl installed on my pc did that last night after posting and checking other posts. I do not have the files in a cgi-bin folder. Does the CGI-BIN folder have to be within the root of the website or can it be outsite the htdocs folder? I will move them and check.

I tried to copy the cgi-bin folder into the root and copied all files except for upload_form.html which is under xupload folder. I still get the http 403 error. I don't know where I need to set permissions. Is there somewhere to turn off authentication.

Tell me if you need anything else.

Here is my website I am building

You have to set up Apache to run cgi scripts inside cgi-bin folder.
This URL should work when you fix Apache config: http://65.31.45.183/cgi-bin/upload.cgi?mode=settings

Please read Apache config manuals and configure it.

Another problem: you have wrong IP inside upload_form.html, it should be the same as you use in upload_form.html URl (65.31.45.183)

thanks for all your help.. I have found some problems within my httpd.conf file. I have changed them and now it seems to be working properly.
