"You don't have permission to access this resource." for perl scripts in CGI-Executables/ on Mac OS 11 - Big Sur
Question
I am receiving "You don't have permission to access this resource." for perl scripts in /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/ on Mac OS 11 - Big Sur. I have a simple test script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n\n";
print "<html>";
print "<body>";
print "Test Page";
print "</body>";
print "</html>";
print "\n";
When I execute it from Terminal , it runs properly and its output is:
Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
<html><body>Test Page</body></html>
I believe the file permissions for the script:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 <my-username> wheel 170 Aug 31 04:50 test.pl*
are correct.
I believe the file permissions for the directory in which the script lives:
drwxr-xr-x 24 <my-username> wheel 768 Aug 31 18:52 CGI-Executables/
are also correct.
I believe my httpd.conf is correctly configured:
<IfModule !mpm_prefork_module>
#LoadModule cgid_module lib/httpd/modules/mod_cgid.so
</IfModule>
<IfModule mpm_prefork_module>
LoadModule cgi_module lib/httpd/modules/mod_cgi.so
</IfModule>
and
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables"
<Directory "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables">
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl .pm
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
While I believe all of this to be correct, clearly, one or more of these beliefs is false, because when I try to open test.pl in a web browser using http://localhost/cgi-bin/test.pl I get the error message:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access this resource.
EDIT
After @ikegami 's suggestion that I look at the logs, I find in /usr/local/var/log/httpd/error_log :
[Sat Sep 03 07:55:17.605501 2022] [authz_core:error] [pid 3035] [client::1:61483] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executablestest.pl
which led me to Apache2: 'AH01630: client denied by server configuration' , and the suggestion that I modify my httpd.conf , adding:
Order allow,deny
So, now my httpd.conf looks like:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables"
<Directory "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables">
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl .pm
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
Allow from all
Order allow,deny
Require all granted
</Directory>
But after a brew services restart httpd , I am still getting the AH01630 error above.

It is a kind of attention to details test.
Look at very end of this
3035] [client ::1:61483] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executablestest.pl
And look at this
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables"
and change it to this
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/"
