I am running FreeBSD on my server, I have Apache 1.3.33 running. I have  
installed mod\_ruby, I think. I added “Include  
/usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf.mod\_ruby” to httpd.conf. I have a file  
called test.rbx all it has is some basic stuff

puts “Content-Type: text/html”  
puts  
puts “”  
puts “”  
puts “

# Hello Ruby!
”  
puts “”  
puts “”

and index.html is just has a link to test. When i click on the link I  
get an error…

Forbidden  
You don’t have permission to access /test.rbx on this server.

Apache/1.3.33 Server at [foo.bar.com](http://foo.bar.com) Port 80

You probably need to set httpd.conf to associate the execution of .rbx  
files with mod\_ruby. I believe the information is in the docs that come  
with mod\_ruby. Or possibly the permissions on the directory are not set  
properly?

Or the permissions of the script:

chmod 755 test.rbx

You might want to check in your filesystem, if that file is readable and  
executable by the user of Apache.
