Hi,
I'm trying to run Web Blast 2.2.28+ locally trough Easy PHP Dev Server 13.1 (Apache 2.2, Windows 7), but when I click on search it shows ERROR 403 when I open it within my site or the following message appears (blast.cgi content), when I use directly the blast.html page:
#!/bin/csh -f
#
# $Id: blast.cgi,v 1.1 2002/08/06 19:03:51 dondosha Exp $
#
echo "Content-type: text/html"
echo ""
#setenv DEBUG_COMMAND_LINE TRUE
setenv BLASTDB db
./blast.REAL
Apache was installed in "C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-DevServer-13.1VC9\binaries\apache\bin" and configured as the following (httpd.conf):
# Added below to get wwwblast to work
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
<Directory "C:/Program Files (x86)/EasyPHP-DevServer-13.1VC9/data/localweb/original/cgi-bin/">
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi REAL
Options Indexes
Options FollowSymLinks
Options ExecCGI
Options Indexes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
and the blast.html file is located in "C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-DevServer-13.1VC9\data\localweb\original\cgi-bin".
I have been trying all the combinations I could have imagined (changing the path, file name, apache options sequence), but... nothing.
Can somebody help me? I need so bad, I've been trying to make it run since 2012.
Thank you all and sorry for any language problems. Dimitrius

You can check the apache log file for the server-side error message, which is likely informative. Aside from that, what are the permissions on that file? Whatever user the apache server is running as needs sufficient permissions.
Also, this isn't really related to bioinformatics. You'd get better help on a windows or "wamp" forum.

Closed as off topic and cross-post, now you got an answer on SO. However, the best place might be serverfault, not SO because it is about serverconfiguration, and I agree with dpryan that this is not related to computational biology.
