ExecCGI turned off in this directory

Question

I'm trying to run a python cgi script on my Mac's web server. Everytime I visit the file @ localhost/site.py I get a 403 forbidden error.

I'm looking in my Apache's error log, and it says:

[Mon Jun 11 09:52:42 2012] [error] [client ::1] Options ExecCGI is off in this directory: /Users/<username>/Sites/site.py

I've changed my httpd.conf file so that my document root is /Users//Sites

In my user's .conf file, I have the following:

<Directory "/Users/<username>/Sites/">
  Options All
  AllowOverride All
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
  AddHandler cgi-script .py
</Directory>

Why is it telling me ExecCGI is off, when I've allowed all options in my user's .conf file?

Are you sure it is fully contained in that directory and does not reference elements outside that directory? — mdpc, Jun 11 '12 at 18:08

Do you use mac's built-in apache2, or package like XAMPP? I found XAMPP doesn't use user.conf, one have to edit /Applications/XAMPP/etc/httpd.conf.

Another things is the change of user.conf take effect AFTER apache restart.
