Have you looked at /var/log/apache/cgi.log (is that where they're still
kept?). This logs problems with suEXEC.
Also, keep in mind that suEXEC is really skittish. The script and the
*directory* that it's in must be owned by the user and group-owned by the
user's primary group (although I've hacked mine to allow it to run scripts
owned by root as well). Neither the directory nor the script can be
world-writable. It can't be a symlink. It can't be setuid.
You really need to look at cgi.log, however, to see what's got it so upset.
