Fedora directory users - May 2008 - admin server dsgw 403 forbidden error

Hi all,

I am making some changes to dsgw.conf to point htmldir, configdir, and
gwnametrans to customized html and config directories on FDS''s admin
server.  Everything else seems to work except for clicking on Directory Server
Gateway, which gives me:

403 Forbidden error: You don''t have permission to access /dsgw/bin/lang
on this server.

The admin-serv error log shows:

[Thu May 08 13:10:41 2008] [error] [client a.b.c.d] client denied by server
configuration: /opt/fedora-ds/dsgw, referer:
http://foxtrot:5000/clients/dsgw/bin/lang?context=dsgw
[Thu May 08 13:10:41 2008] [error] [client a.b.c.d] client denied by server
configuration: /opt/fedora-ds/dsgw, referer:
http://foxtrot:5000/clients/dsgw/bin/lang?context=dsgw

Admserv.conf has:

<Directory "/opt/fedora-ds/clients/dsgw/bin/">
    AllowOverride None
    Options None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    NESCompatEnv on
</Directory>

I''ve beat my head against the wall until it hurts.  Any pointers on
where to look next?

Thanks,

Scott

I think Apache is trying to tell you that it does not allow CGI programs 
to be executed from that directory. I suggest you refer to the Apache 
documentation, especially the ScriptAlias directive and "Options
+ExecCGI".
