Thanks. It is finding and executing the scripts. (Can put in a print statement before the system() command and see the results on a web browser calling the script.

Both the 2.0 and 2.2 apaches are using mod_cgi. In 2.0 it is built in and in 2.2 there's a LoadModule statement for it in httpd.conf.

But: mod_suexec is loaded in 2.2 and not loaded or built in in 2.0.

This is a difference I hadn't thought about or even known about. I don't really know about suexec or how it should be configured, but it looks like it could be close to my problems. Thanks for the pointer.

    httpd -l to compare which MPM's you built with?  Are you running mod_cgi
    or mod_cgid?  Did you build with suexec?
