I am running Apache 2.0.54 on Fedora (2.6.12-1.1398_FC4) and just
installed Big Sister.

I created a ScriptAlias directory called /bigsis/cgi/ with exactly the
same options as the existing cgi-bin directory, but when I place a perl
script in that directory it will not run. The errors in the httpd error
log show:

Permission denied: exec of '/blahblahblah' failed
Premature end of script headers: blahblahblah

I can su to apache and run the script fine, and if I put the script into
the cgi-bin directory it runs fine.

I added the Options ExecCGI, disabled suexec and even tried making
cgi-bin a symlink to bigsis/cgi, but it still doesn't work. Perm's on
the script are 755.

I searched the archives and googled for a solution and tried just about
everything I found, but cannot resolve the issue. Thanks in advance for
any help.

>From httpd.conf:

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"
ScriptAlias /bigsis/cgi/ "/var/www/cgi/"
    
<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
    AllowOverride None
    Options None
    Order allow,deny   
    Allow from all
</Directory>

<Directory "/var/www/cgi">
    AllowOverride None
    Options None                ## I have tried ExecCGI as well
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Here is the script:

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";
print "<html><body><h1>Hello</h1></body></html>\n";
