Re: CGI Scripts, Apache 2.2.3, and Debian 4.0 R1
Hi Freddy,
I was finally able to get it working, but I'm not exactly sure what I did to fix it. I think that it might have been enabling the cgid module. Does this make sense. Otherwise, I set most of the setting back to default, restarted Apache, and the scripts starting working.

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.
