    I just bought a proxy site, and switched it over to my nameservers and uploaded all the stuff to my FTP, and when I try to load the page it says :

    "Forbidden
    You don't have permission to access /nph-proxy.cgi on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
    Apache/1.3.37 Server at xxxxx.com Port 80"


    I changed my permissions to 777, and it still doesn't load. Can anybody help? Thanks.

    Now it just says :


    Forbidden
    You don't have permission to access / on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    Make sure:
    1. NS update is complete, and you domain is not pointing to its old ip.
    2. You have permission to run cgi script on your server (may be seen in cpanel)
    3. Put the cgi script in "cgi-bin" folder and access as your-domain.com/cgi-bin/nph-proxy.cgi. Apache, by default, does not allow cgi scripts to excecute outside cgi-bin directory and exits with a pemission denied error as above. This seems to be the case with your server too.

    And you are done.

    Read carefully. Its cgi script, not php one.

    Thanks for the help. I did what you said, and now when I load www.mrsneakie.com/cgi-bin/nph-proxy.cgi, I'm just getting a blank page.

    Also, when I just try and access /cgi-bin, the same error message pops up. I talked to the owner of my servers and he said CGI script is allowed.

    Do a ping to the site and see if it is the correct ip address.
    Another reason could be your dosting doesn't provide cgi/perl.

    Also if I try only www.mrsneakie.com it works.

    Yeah, I uploaded phproxy instead. That doesn't seem to work though, when I hit "browse", nothing happens.

    Kirby, make sure the files are uploaded in the correct mode, ASCII, and if it still doesn't work, chmod the cgi files to 755. Make sure you can run .cgi files as well on your server/hosting account.
