I just created the democourse in ww 1.9. I can pull the course up in my browser, but when I try to login, I get the following error:

Forbidden You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/webwork/system/login.pl on this server.

This could either be an apache configuration problem or a file permissions problem. Check the Apache error log for more information.

Make sure that the login.pl script is readable and executable by the web server. It is safe for this and the other perl scripts to be world-readable and -executable.

Make sure that Apache is configured to give access to the directory containing login.pl. There should probably be lines in the <Directory> section like: "Allow from all".
