boa problem

# Auth: HTTP Basic authorization. Format is "Auth <Directory> <PasswdFile>".# Password file should be readable _ONLY_ by root or trusted user(s). This file# is opened before boa gives out privs.# Example: Auth /secret /var/www/secret.passwd

# Auth /internal /etc/internal.passwd

I don&#39;t want to authentication.But when I start boa use command like:# boa

it appears:Authentication password file for /cgi-bin/ not found!!

And the cgi progrm can&#39;t work. The IE says: "401 Unauthorized

Your client does not have permission to get URL /cgi-bin/cgioutput0428.cgi from this server. "

Please give me some advice!!!

    maybe you should look at www.boa.org

    and post your questions to the boa forum on sf.net .

    Or search mailing list on uClinux.org .
