Dear Sebastian,

it worked! Many, many thanks!

I didn't use to have anything like that in RedHat 9.0, and was completely 
stymied.

(Incidentally, I do have the httpd entry in SELinux, but not the mysqld 
one.)

I made a lot of other trials (which I am not going to report in full 
here), but observed a strange behavior. I could not execute _any_ script 
located in _any_ subdir of the path /usr/local/koha/intranet/cgi-bin, even 
when correctly defined in httpd.conf, whereas I _could_ execute such 
scripts, if copied to /var/www/cgi-bin (or subdirs), i.e. httpd's default 
location for cgi's.

Therefore, I was beginning to fancy that a possible workaround to my 
problem was to perform a new installation of koha under /var/www/koha, but 
I didn't try - THANKS to your most precious suggestion!

Many thanks again,

Giuseppe.
