Hello Robert,
The dilemma I have now is that there is no access (in the browser) to the cgi-bin stuff. For example, when I try to do a search in koha I get the message "Forbidden: You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/koha/search.pl" (I have opened all the permissions on directories and files). This tells me that for some reason the ScriptAlias command in the httpd.conf file is not working. I check httpd.conf and it reads: ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/koha/ /usr/local/koha/opac/cgi-bin just like it should. But obviously ScriptAlias is not forwarding.
I have tried several feeble tricks: 1) Delete the koha/ part so there is only /cgi-bin/ 2) Create a directory in root called /cgi-bin/koha/
If you changed that, you'll have to change all the html files that points to that link.
3) Double check all file permissions in the cgi-bin directory.
Just 755 permission on all.
4) I don't know how to check ScriptAlias independently to see if it is working.
Manually, type into the browser: http://192.168.0.4:8080/cgi-bin/koha/search.pl Then check the logs for what errors it reports
5) Although the browser says it can't "access /cgi-bin/koha/search.pl", the opac-error_log says "client denied by server configuration: /usr/local/koha/opac/cgi-bin/search.pl" implying that the ScriptAlias is trying to get through.
Aha! Client denied would mean that your workstation was not given access to the server. Add to your commonhttpd.conf something like this: <Directory /usr/local/koha> AllowOverride All Options MultiViews -Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> Restart apache then try again. If not, this one is a far stretch since I didn't have to use it myself... try checking commonhttpd.conf for something like this: <Directory /var/www/cgi-bin> AllowOverride All Options ExecCGI </Directory> and point the directory to your koha cgi-bin eg. <Directory /usr/local/koha/opac/cgi-bin> and another for intranet/cgi-bin This forces executability of the cgi in that directory.
