Is this a message appearing in the apache error log or in the browser? If
it is appearing in the browser, this is probably apache passing through a
python error message.
Is this the complete error message?
What happens when you try and access http://[server]/cgi-data/index.html
directly in a web browser? You may need to copy the file to a different
directory to do this depending on the apache configuration.
