[users@httpd] CGI Still not working
I have two servers, Trinity and Neo. Trinity is our development server,
and Neo is our production server. Both are identical, as far as I can see;
both run Apache 2.0.44, JRun 4SP1a, ColdfusionMX updater 3. Both have Perl
5.6.1 installed. But for some reason, Perl CGI pages are interpreted
properly on Neo, while they are not on Trinity -- when I view a Perl page
from Trinity, all I see is the source code.
The Apache configuration on each server is identical -- I copied down the
httpd.conf file from Neo to Trinity, making appropriate changes in the
ServerName fields and so on.
When I started Apache on Trinity with the apachectl start command, I was
told that several of the modules listed in the LoadModule section were
already built in to Apache, so they didn't need to be loaded; I've
commented out those LoadModule lines in the httpd.conf file on
Trinity. So, even though the LoadModule lines are commented out in the
httpd.conf file on Trinity, the functionality *should* be there, right?
FWIW, here are the LoadModule sections from both Trinity and Neo...

I'm installing a newer version of Perl on Trinity. I've noticed that they
have different installations of Perl, in different locations. I'm hoping
that installing Perl 5.8.0 on Trinity will help.

Do they both have the exact same filesystem layout, including symlinks &c?
Is it possible that some paths might be wrong in the config file? Can you
get CGI's to execute at all, by tweaking the configuration? Eg. add Options
+ExecCGI on the document root, or by installing a vanilla Apache.
I'm out of ideas..

Robert,
I agree, it does sound odd. I tried inserting a deliberate syntax error
and restarted httpd, and it failed to start. I know, therefore, that I'm
using the right configuration file.
I suppose it's possible that there's an error with Solaris. Both Trinity
and Neo are using Solaris 9, but they were built at different times
(Trinity was rebuilt from scratch recently).

Sounds odd. Make sure you are editing/using the right config file. Insert an
obvious syntax error in the file, and restart to make sure.
