Very Computer

I am running Debian 2.0r3 LINUX on a Pentium 200.

I installed the Apache web server to use CGI scripts.  The DocumentRoot is
/var/www/ (this works -- I get the correct file when accessing
http://localhost/) and ScriptAlias is /usr/lib/cgi-bin (ExecCGI enabled).

Now my problem: when I try to ecexute a CGI script via a (selfwritten) HTML
file (<form action="http://localhost/cgi-bin/testcgi">) I get the
following: HTTP 1.1/Alert: 403 Forbidden ... no permission to access
/cgi-bin/testcgi on this server.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
