Hello,
I have a strange problem running Apache on Windows XP Professional. The server works correctly, but the cgi scripts

don't run at all. Every time I try to execute one I get an Internal Server Error and in the Error Log :

[Tue May 04 01:02:40 2004] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (OS 5)Access is
denied. : couldn't create child process: 720005: todo5.pl
[Tue May 04 01:02:40 2004] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (OS 5)Access is
denied. : couldn't spawn child process: D:/local_site/cgi-
bin/todo5.pl


My configuration in the file httpd.conf has nothing wrong :

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "D:/local_site/cgi-bin/"

<Directory "D:/local_site/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes FollowSymLinks
SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

So I really don't understand the problem and it's very important I'm understand why I have this problem.

Perhaps Apache cannot access the Perl interpreter directory ? Any idea ?
