Yes, this is a relatively common configuration error. Although this
does not make it a bug, it does point out that our documentation could
be clearer. Unfortunately, the basic problem is that people see the
ScriptAlias in the default config file and assume that is the only way
to activate cgi scripts, so regardless of what we put in the docs, it
won't help that much.
I don't complete agree with you... IMHO the basic "problem" is:
The "URL-path" in ScriptAlias (like in Alias and Location) is compared case
sensitive first, also on Windows. The "normal" URI to path translation
(directory-path) not on Windows. That should be better explained in the
manual.
BTW:
ScriptAlias is not complete the same as an "Options ExecCGI". On Windows you
can use something like that to avoid the problem:
ScriptAliasMatch "(?i)^/cgi-bin(.*)" "/apache/cgi-bin$1"
