cgi-bin / perl not executing script

I looked through the forums, and found several other descriptions of this problem but no resolution.

ispconfig 3.0.5.3. I have cgi and perl turned on in site configuration. When I try to execute a perl script (.pl extension, '#! /usr/bin/perl -w is first line), it is downloaded instead of being executed. perl.load is in /etc/apache/mods-enabled.

Configuration for one of the sites follows:

<Directory /var/www/lakewoodtexas.com>
AllowOverride None
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
</Directory>

<VirtualHost *:80>

And, it still doesn't work.

The link from the web page is:
http://lakewoodtexas.com/cgi-bin/signup.pl

As far as I can tell, it is set up correctly. It worked on the old server; I did verify that. The only two sites that are not working on the new (ISPConfig3) server are the Perl scripts as far as I can tell.

cgi is enabled.

 

Have you tried if it works when CGI mode is disabled an only Perl is enabled?
I think the CGI option conflicts with perl enabled because of this line:

Code:

AddHandler cgi-script .pl

You could try removing this manually from your vhost and restart apache to test if it is the reason.

 

Solution

I tried several things. Finally, I disabled "Perl" completely via the control panel (unchecked the box). At this point, it all appears to work.

I'm not sure what this will effect, and I assume it will be running perl from the cli, not via apache mod, but at least it is working.

I may have time to play with it later and see exactly what is causing the issue, but for anyone else looking at this, enable cgi-bin but do not enable Perl. That works on my system, at least.
