Re: Apache2 - Debian (squeeze) - CGI Problem
Not sure if you intended to type something in the reply but it doesn't seem that anything but my original text came through.
Either way, I appear to have resolved the issue. As a test, I installed a fresh copy of Debian (squeeze) with completely default options and managed to get cgi/pl scripts working there.
I then compared what modules I had enabled on the default vs. my production system and once I disabled the few extras that I had on my production system cgi/pl scripts started working perfectly.
I probably ought to have done this a while ago but haven't really had enough continuous time for such an undertaking. Either way. I don't know which module is causing problems with it and given that I don't have the need for most of what I disabled I've left them off for now. I've included what modules I changed below just in case someone needs the information.
#### EXTRA MODULES NOT INCLUDED IN BASE INSTALL ####
auth_kerb
auth_pam
auth_radius
#geoip --- TURNED BACK ON
log_sql_dbi
log_sql
log_sql_mysql
log_sql_ssl
#mod-evasive --- TURNED BACK ON
#mod-spamhaus --- TURNED BACK ON
#proxy_html --- TURNED BACK ON
random
#rpaf --- TURNED BACK ON
Anyhow, that's that. Thanks.
