apache error

[someguy]

Hi,

    	I realise that this might not be the appropriate newgroup for this 
question but there isn't a newsgroup on apache.
I'm using python to do some cgi programming and i'm using DOM to sort a 
table when the user clicks on a different heading.  Here is a sniplet of 
code:
    	<th class = 'head'><a href="" onclick="sortTable(0)">Rank</a></th>


The sortTable() is a javascript method in an external file.
For some reason i got a the following error when i click on the table 
header:

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

    	Apache/2.0.50 (Win32) mod_python/3.1.3 Python/2.3.3 PHP/4.3.8 Server     
	at 24.156.164.6 Port 80

I'm running Apache on Windows Xp.  Any suggestions as to what premission 
needs to be changed?

TIA
