what happens when you run the program on the command line? what about if
you first su to the user the web server runs as? (you may have to assign the
web server userid a shell first)

it sounds like it's a problem with following symlinks. one possibility is
that the default apache config has change from allowing the following of
symlinks to denying it. check out the directives followsymlinks and
followsymlinksifownermatch (that might be wrong but their names are similar
to that).

hrm, hard to say without actually looking, but that sounds like a
permissions problem.

keep a copy of your old configs, do the upgrade and then diff them and see
if anything enlightening shows up. otherwise i'd hit the apache web site
and look at the changelog too see what has changed between those two
vesrions. apache is normally pretty good about listing incompatibilities
between versions.
