FBCAK? Sorry, this is a new acronym for me :-)

Here's the end of the error log:

[Sun Jul 14 10:41:13 2002] [error] [client 64.255.69.153] script not found
or unable to stat: /usr2/sites/Gemini/geminicat.cgi

Again, here's the listing of the CGI:

[root@wizdev root]# ls -l /home/httpd/cgi-bin/geminicat.cgi
-rwsr-xr-x    1 alex     alex         8376 Jul 14 09:12
/home/httpd/cgi-bin/geminicat.cgi

Now, the user's website is on another volume:

[root@wizdev root]# ls -l /usr2/sites/Gemini/
total 1580
.
.
.
drwxrwxr-x    3 alex     alex         4096 Jul 14 09:12 geminicat

And that directory contains:

[root@wizdev root]# ls -l /usr2/sites/Gemini/geminicat
total 8
drwxrwxr-x    6 alex     alex         4096 Jul 14 09:12 images
-rw-rw-r--    1 alex     alex         2806 Jul 14 09:12 index.html

Any help is appreciated!
