my system is a 64 bit ubuntu 20.04 lts system.
I successfully installed apache2 and I am able to view the default page by visiting http://localhost:80
However I am not able to run my Perl CGI scripts.
I modified the sites-enabled/000-default.conf file by removing the '#' from the start of the "Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf" line. I then created the /usr/lib/cgi-bin directory. I next put a small Perl CGI script named "printenv.cgi" under /usr/lib/cgi-bin. I then restarted the apache2 server. When I attempted to run my newly created CGI script gy visiting localhost:80/cgi-bin/printenv.cgi all that happened was I received a "404 Not Found" error. I looked at the apache logfile and it provided no further info. What have I done wrong? |

Did you chmod 0777 the file?
Did you restart apache after the config change?
Anything in the error log or access log about it? |
