Have a look at your /etc/apache/httpd.conf -- it is pretty well
documented.
I think what you are looking for is a stanza for whichever directory you
want to run cgi scripts from. Make sure you still have something like
<Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin/> # or wherever
AllowOverride None # I forget what this is at the mo.
Options ExecCGI # This is the line in question
Order allow,deny # The usual access control thing...
Allow from all # ... or whatever
</Directory>
Read the rest of it as well while you are there. It`s full of wisdom
which I have forgotten since I last looked... (Which may also mean I`m
barking up the wrong tree)
