What determines cgi-bin access?

Trying to install a script on anew hosting account. Have installed it dozens of times before on various cpanel accounts but with this new account ijust get a 403 access forbidden message when going to a url within the cgi-bin. (The entire script resides within the cgi-bin and works on every other account i've had) Is this a problem i can solve through cpanel or do i need to contact my hosting provider?
Thanks nosmeric, but the permissions are all correct and it still doesn't allow access.
 
Seems like a hosting issue. First port of call for this kind of problem would be the company who does the hosting. They would know how to solve this problem.
 
You have to set permissions on it - the script - probably 755. You can do this thru cpanel/file manager. If after doing that the script doesn't run, check the perms on the cgi-bin itself. Those should be correct tho.

---edit----

Did you edit the file in anything other than notepad? Like dreamweaver? And you uploaded it in ascill?
