apache questions to follow

[Brian Kelsay]

I'm trying to digest what you said.  I just got home and want to get 
this working tonight.  I finished w/ httpd.conf before I left work and 
did an apache restart.  I typed in the direct path 
www.mydomain.com/cgiirc/index.html and I got the standard cgiirc 
redirect to www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/cgiirc/irc.cgi .
When I attempt to login however, I get "Access Denied: No connections 
Allowed".  My guess is that I need the second part of what you posted 
about the directory stuff, but not the script alias, to allow the 
specific cgi script to run.  Is this correct?
How do you "qualify the path for the scripts so that the cgi requests go 
to /cgiirc/irc.cgi, if the ScriptAlias is like mine and points to 
/usr/lib/cgi-bin"
