Virtual Host Returns 403 Error

Hiawatha version: 7.3
Operating System: Ubuntu server

I've tried to set up a virtual host (with freedns, http://freedns.afraid.org/), but whatever I do, going to the domain gives me a hiawatha 403 - forbidden notice. The domain points to my IP. When I go to directly to my IP (http://127.0.0.1/~user, but with my actual IP), i get the correct page.

The pertinent section of hiawatha.conf is:

VirtualHost {
    Hostname = www.my.subdomain.com
    WebsiteRoot = /home/user/public
}

also, I have

UserDirectory = public
UserWebsites = yes

if it matters.

What does the error logfile say?

Sun 18 Jul 2010 17:27:56 -0500|99.24.239.36|/home/user/public/index.shtml|CGI execution not allowed

Ah. It was an ssi-cgi problem. I put ExecuteCGI = Yes under the virtual host in the conf file and it worked. I should have thought to do that myself. Sorry and thanks!

No problem and you're welcome
