The usual CGI-BIN error

[apostle]

I've been searching all through the forums. A customer came to me with this problem:
You don't have permission to access /cgiirc/irc.cgi on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
-
i've read up on a lot of them, and read http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=6
-
I did get errors running the script in SSH, and went to do: perl -e shell -MCPAN . however i recieved this error: [root@xtreme customapache]# perl -MCPAN -e shell
Can't locate CPAN.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ........ .).
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted
-
I also read to: If the perl -e shell -MCPAN fails while testing, you can still install the downloaded files..

cd /root/.cpan/build
Look for the DBD-mysql directory, go there, do a:
perl Makefile.PL
make; make install

however i also recieve an error there: bash: cd: /root/.cpan/build: No such file or directory

I was planning on installing cpan, but instead of making things worse, just posted this. Hope someone can help me out!

Hey,

While your post title says"CGI-BIN", your post itself says:

You don't have permission to access /cgiirc/irc.cgi on this server

So, one would have to ask if it's "cgiirc", is that directory under CGI-BIN and if so, does the "cgiirc" have the correct permissions?

Where exactly is the "cgiirc" directory located?

What errors did you get when you ran the script via ssh?
