[users@httpd] CGI Scripts Not Working

["Kaplan, Andrew H." <AH...@PARTNERS.ORG>]

I have compiled Apache with the --enable-cgi and --enable-cgid options. When
I run httpd -l, the mod_cgi.c and mod_cgid.c modules appeared as compiled.
However, I am unable to run any cgi scripts. Whenever I try to open one
directly, or have it opened via an html file, the system either shows the
source code,
or does not know how to run the script. HELP!!!!

Make sure that the location that you are running it from have at least the
following configuration:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/rpgcn/awstats/ /www/cgi-bin/rpgcn/awstats
<Directory /www/cgi-bin/rpgcn/awstats>
SetHandler cgi-script .pl .cgi
Options -Indexes ExecCGI
</Directory>

That of course only if you have Perl installed on your box, also verify that
the cgi script that you are trying to run has a line like:
#!/usr/sbin/perl
that will lead the file to be executed by the perl executable file.

All the best,
