Re: CGI Scripts, Apache 2.2.3, and Debian 4.0 R1

I have a clean install of Debian 4.0 R1 with Apache 2.2.3-4 installed. I can not get cgi scripts to execute from the website. I have researched the Apache site and tried both of the following:
1) Under apache2.conf, I added 
    <Directory /var/www/cgi-bin >
      Options +ExecCGI
      AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
</Directory> 2) Under httpd.conf, I added 
#
# ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts.
# ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that
# documents in the realname directory are treated as applications and
# run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the client.
# The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias directives as to
# Alias.
#
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"
#
# "/var/www/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased
# CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.
#
<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
        AllowOverride None
        Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
        Allow from 192.168.1
</Directory>
Neither of these has allowed my cgi scripts to run. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Sincerely, 
Jon

This may be a stupid question, but did you enable the cgi module by creating a symbolic link from /etc/apache2/mods-enabled to /etc/apache2/mods-available and install the appropriate php4/php5-cgi package or the libapache-mod-fastcgi depending on your usage? Without doing those two things pache won't/can't load the cgi module. There are also some libcgi packages for perl and a couple of other languages too, but I'm not familiar with them as I've never had occasion to use them.
