Message: "Sorry...cant run from here"

[Dano]

I'm building two simple sites (with on web-hosting provider) . On both sites
I use the same .PL file to run a simple email-script. On one site it works
fine, but on the other site I get the message "Sorry,... cant run from
here". The CHMOD-settings are correct in both directories (755). Firewall is
off.

How is possible?

In Apache, CGI scripts can only run in your cgi-bin directory unless the
ExecCGI option is set for other directories.

You could try to override this (if your webhost has allowed this in the
primary Apache configuration file) in a .htaccess file in your webroot:

Options +ExecCGI

But as I said, this may or may not work if the main configuration file
doesn't allow you to override this option with .htaccess.

Perhaps your host only permits CGI to be run from the cgi-bin (or
equivalent) directory. Is the script in the same location on the
working URL?

Problem is solved. In the .PL file I didn't changed the domain adress (to
stalvossen.nl) from the previous one I copied it from.
