Package: apache-perl
Version: 1.3.9-13.1-21.20000309-1
The server refuses to execute any Perl scripts, producing a "You
don't have permission" error in Netscape. Accoring to the error log,
access is denied because "ExecCGI is off in this directory" but there is
in fact a directory entry in httpd.conf for that directory:
<Directory /foo> #okay, not really /foo
Options FollowSymlinks ExecCGI Includes
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
This behavior is puzzling. The scripts in question all have +rx
permissions to all, and ran fine using a "real" installation of Apache
and mod_perl. I'm assuming it's a bug - maybe I have done something
wrong, and the logfile is misreporting the actual problem, but wouldn't
that be a bug in itself? ;-)
The directory in question happens to be the DocumentRoot of a
VirtualHost entry, but I can't get scripts to run in any directory
except for /cgi-bin. Even there, Netscape tries to download anything
with a .pl entry (although at least there's no forbidden error) despite
the fact that the appropriate AddHandler lines for Perl scripts are in
httpd.conf. The default scripts in /cgi-bin work fine.
I am using the frozen distribution, kernel version 2.2.15. and libc6
2.1.3, if that helps.

The original report was against 1.3.9 in Potato. As such, it is not
feasible to track this problem down. If this problem is reproduced
with a recent apache, please file a new bug. The followup to this bug
was for an unrelated problem which is now fixed.
