Kimi,
I recreated the problem as best I could on my own server and found the
exact same problem. Turns out that apache checks user and group
ownership for the script and the parent cgi-bin directory. They both
MUST be owned by the same user and group. Just do a chown -R user.group
/home/user to correct it.
