# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port
that
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
#ServerName www.example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
# Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
# error, crit, alert, emerg.
# It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
# modules, e.g.
#LogLevel info ssl:warn

# For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
# enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
# include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
# following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
# after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
#Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf

The above mods to 000-default.conf (now commented out) cause apache2 to not find
/var/www/html/photoEdits. The commands:
systemctl start apache2.service and
systemctl stop apache2.service
Give these errors when the ScriptAlias block in the above is uncommented.:
Job for apache2.service failed. See 'systemctl status apache2.service' and
'journalctl -xn' for details.
I need to be able to run a perl/CGI script from an HTML web page in a browser,
and don't know how to configure apache2 to do it. Googling for solutions has
resulted in lots of tricks that don't work. So far, the default behavior of the
perl/CGI script is to simply bring up a window that tries to open the script in
an editor or download it. Not useful!
