    Alrighty… I justed moved my wordpress to its own directory, re-activated permalinks and realized my cgi-bin scripts do not work (403 Forbidden error). When I get rid of the permalinks, the cgi-bin scripts work again.

    Why would the .htaccess file that WP created be interfering with my cgi-bin? I’ve done a search and found others with this problem with no definite fix. Help would be much appreciated! There has to be some .htaccess fix for this.

    Hard to guess without seeing what’s in the .htaccess file.

    Just the standard, here:

    # BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    Can anybody help? This is becoming a huge problem for me.

    How can I exclude the /cgi-bin/ from being affected by the .htaccess?

    Someone suggesting using this code right above the rewrite base line, but it didn’t work.

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/cgi-bin/

    Any other thoughts?!
