ExecCGI function?

[HOSTropic]

I've got a client trying to install a php based CMS but getting an error.
He reports the following:

"When I try to run the install.php script, it gives me a "Forbidden: You don't have permission to access /install.php on this server." error. I checked the logs and it says "[Wed Jun 23 19:33:44 2004] [error] [client 68.202.156.58] Options ExecCGI is off in this directory:
/home/mdyclub/public_html/install.php".

Anyone know what might be the source of the problem? I've installed a number of CMS applications as well as shopping carts, etc. in both php and perl and never had this problem.

All thoughts, suggestions would be appreciated.

If its PHP, it shouldn't be saying anything
about CGI...did the document say to CHMOD
the file(s) any specific thing?

Put

Options +ExecCGI

in a .htaccess file in that directory and see if that helps.

Thanks for the replies. Turns out it was related to the htaccess file. He had one he'd created to turn on the functions he thought he needed and that was causing the problem. It's a phpNuke install. I've seen a number of posts related to htaccess and should have guessed it was related.
Anyhow, thanks again!
