>Description:
I am connected by a peer to peer LAN. The computers are a 386 running FreeBSD and the client is a 486 running netscape.
My browser (Netscape Communicator 4.01) informs me that 
I don't have permission to run CGI or Perl Scripts.
Perl is installed and runs scripts that do not output HTML on
the FreeBSD machine. 
I can't seem to get the system configured correctly to
work with output to the client browser.

I don't a have Apache, configured yet, either.

The httpd.error log says that "Options ExecCGI is off in this directory."
Can you Help?

State-Changed-Why:  
The part of the httpd.error log that you quoted in your problem report 
told you what the problem is; you need to configure your web server to 
allow execution of CGI scripts in the appropriate directory.  Perhaps 
you want to edit /usr/local/etc/apache/access.conf, or perhaps you want 
to add an ".htaccess" file in the appropriate directory.  In any case, 
problems like this are probably better addressed to the FreeBSD questions 
mailing list, <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org>.
