500 internal server error I am trying to execute a basic hello world cgi script. However I keep getting 500 error. I tried changing the scriptsock setting in my httpd.conf file as well as file permissions and every other suggestion I could find on various postings.... I have reinstalled the OS and started from scratch. I am pretty new to linux however I have learned alot over the past 2 months..Any help would be so appreciated.

Which version of Apache are you running?

RedHat 9 is the distribution of Linux that Apache is running on, not the Apache version. Do you know which version of Apache you have? I don't use RedHat, so I don't know which version it ships with. (Look at the bottom of the error page, and if you have the server signature turned on in httpd.conf, it'll say something like "Apache 1.3.27 at www.mydomain.com Port 80" or something similar.)

Are you restarting httpd after making changes to httpd.conf ?
(apachectl start|stop|restart)
(apachectl start|stop|restart)

I originally uncommented the ScriptSocks log/cgisocks then rebooted the machine which httpd is set to restart on boot. It was recommended that I change the file group and owner to apache so i did that two and chmod all the files to 755.

Try commenting the line about ScriptSocks log/cgi and do:
apachectl restart
You don't have to reboot the box to restart Apache :) ...rebooting is for adding hardware :P

Ok...I will try it now. Thank you for your help. I will post in a few and let you know.
Quick question. It seems like I can only get ftp access outside of my /home/user folder if I change the ownership of the /var/www/ folder to owner-me so in other words when I try to upload directly to the /var/www/cgi-bin/ it will not transfer the file unless I make myself the owner. I have tried adding me to the root user accound under the user administration control panel but no luck. ANy suggestions
