Okay, thanks for your great suggestion. I did find out where the entry
needed to go. I had set up a virtual host, just in case I wanted to
serve other sites from here. However, I had not properly added support
for cgi-bin files to this host. I noticed this when checking the
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default file. I simply added:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
and it now works. Thanks again.
