[users@httpd] CGI not running or Object not found

[Matthew Webster <eu...@freeuk.com>]

Hi guys,

I would really appreciate a little help here...
In my httpd.conf I have included the following:

LoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.so

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>

ServerAdmin webmaster@myserver.net
DocumentRoot "C:\WebSites\logs.myserver.net"

ServerName logs.myserver.net

Options +Includes +Indexes
IndexOptions +FancyIndexing

ErrorLog error.log
CustomLog access.log common

#    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin "C:/WebSites/logs.myserver.net/cgi-bin"

<Directory "C:/WebSites/logs.myserver.net/cgi-bin">

#        #AllowOverride Options
Options +ExecCGI
# +Indexes
#        Order deny,allow
#        Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>


The first problem is that I cannot get a directory listing generated of 
the cgi-bin directory if the ScriptAlias directive is used.

The second problem is that I get:

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete 
your request. 
Error message: 
couldn't create child process: 720003: hello.pl

when trying to access the very simple and definately correct 'hello.pl' 
Perl script within the cgi-bin directory.  I have the Perl executable 
in the system PATH (I am using Windows XP).

I can sometimes get an 'Object not found' message, when messing around 
with the last directives in the <directory> block.

Do I need to specify how to run Perl scripts?

If someone could specify exactly the directive settings needed to get 
cgi's to run under Apache I would be most grateful.


Best regards,

Matt.
