[users@httpd] 500 internal server error, Apache/1.3.26

i am encountering an '500 internal server error' under Apache/1.3.26. 
httpd runs as user 'www'. i've included paths, the script, error log 
and httpd.conf entries below. could someone please take a look?
what am i missing here?

thanks!

path to cgi bin and executable:
/var/www
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  daemon   512 May 14 07:33 DOMAIN-cgi
/var/www/DOMAIN-cgi
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  bin     268 Oct 28  2002 printenv

content of Apache's sample script 'printenv':
#!/usr/bin/perl
##
##  printenv -- demo CGI program which just prints its environment
##

print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
foreach $var (sort(keys(%ENV))) {
     $val = $ENV{$var};
     $val =~ s|\n|\\n|g;
     $val =~ s|"|\\"|g;
     print "${var}=\"${val}\"\n";
}

note:
'printenv' executes from command line without problems.

error log:
[Wed May 14 08:26:05 2003] [error] (2)No such file or directory: exec of
  /DOMAIN-cgi/printenv failed
[Wed May 14 08:26:05 2003] [error] [client 198.238.193.254] Premature en
d of script headers: /DOMAIN-cgi/printenv

httpd.conf:
<VirtualHost www.DOMAIN.net>
     DocumentRoot /var/www/www-html/DOMAIN.net
     ServerName www.DOMAIN.net
     ErrorLog /var/www/logs/www.DOMAIN.net-error_log
     CustomLog /var/www/logs/www.DOMAIN.net-access_log common
     ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/DOMAIN-cgi/
</VirtualHost>

OR (this seemed redundant, but i thought i'll give it try):

<VirtualHost DOMAIN.net>
     DocumentRoot /var/www/www-html/DOMAIN.net
     ServerName DOMAIN.net
     ErrorLog /var/www/logs/www.DOMAIN.net-error_log
     CustomLog /var/www/logs/www.DOMAIN.net-access_log common
     ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/DOMAIN-cgi/
     <Directory "/var/www/DOMAIN-cgi">
        AllowOverride None
        Options +ExecCGI
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
     </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Thanks for your reply, but like I stated in my original post 'printenv' 
executes just fine from the command line. There's nothing wrong with 
the perl path.

Posted by Jeff Cohen <su...@gej-it.com>.
Check the first line:
#!/usr/bin/perl
Maybe you have the perl executable somewhere else.
