Hmmm - now it comes up with a 403: Permission denied. And from the error.log: [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Options ExecCGI is off in this directory: /var/www/hello.php Not surprising really - I thought that was the point of having your executable/cgi's in /usr/lib/cgi-bin
The point of CGI is to allow you to execute a script instead of display content. With newer content models such as mod_perl and PHP, which allow you to both display content and evaluate scripts, the line is not quite so distinct. The ExecCGI option allows you to specify, on a per directory basis, locations other than cgi-bin where executable content resides.
