If you look in apache config file you will find a line like this:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
which tells apache to handle the files with .cgi and .pl as cgi scripts.
Without this apache will handle them as default text/html file. So the
script alis is useless without proper handle, it just defines the default
script directory.
Obviously if you want to have some PHP scripts to be handled as cgi by
apache you need to add that new extension to the AddHandler line:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl .php
So obviously your file name without extension doesn't match this criteria.

Igor,
I'm having the same problem as Allen.
I don't understand. Is this necessary for Apache 2.4.2? A designated
extension was/is not a requirement in 1.2, 1.3, 2.0, or 2.2. Do I have to
rename all my CGIs?
And why does apache2/cgi-bin have two files without extensions--printenv
and test-cgi? The former is a perl script, the latter a shell script. The
instructions in these files say only to add the necessary execution
sheebang--#!/usr/bin/perl or #!/usr/bin/sh--and set permissions to 755.
That's all that has been required for in my previous 15+ years with Apache.
However now all I'm getting is the script text. When I go back to Apache
2.22.2, it all works fine.

Posted by Thad Humphries <th...@gmail.com>.
Solved. mod_cgi.so does not built by default on my system (openSUSE 12.1).
When I built Apache 2.2, it was part of the core, not a dynamic module. So
when running configure, add --enable-cgi and uncomment "LoadModule
dir_module modules/mod_cgi.so" in httpd.conf
Alternately, use mod_cgid.so. Per
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_cgi.html
"When using a multi-threaded MPM under unix, the module
mod_cgid<http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_cgid.html>should
be used in place of this module. At the user level, the two modules
are essentially identical"
So, uncomment "LoadModule dir_module modules/mod_cgid.so" in httpd.conf.
Also uncomment "Scriptsock logs/cgisock" in httpd.conf (in the <IfModule
cgid_module> directive).
