I have a Movable Type blog hosted in a Linux server. When I try to select a license for my blog by setting the preferences I'm getting the following 403 Forbidden error.

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

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I tried changing the permissions of mt.cgi to 077 but that doesn't help as now I'm getting a 500 Internal Server error like this.

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. .....

I'm not an expert at administering an Apache server or with the Movable Type platform. I'm just trying out things. Please point me to a possible solution for this problem?

Thanks

You need to check the servers errorlogs and add that information before anyone can say much about what causes this problem. Usually you find these as /var/log/apache/error_log or similar. – Rune Nilssen Jan 2 '10 at 9:58
077 seems like an odd permission setting. – Dennis Williamson Jan 2 '10 at 11:19
