I noticed the following problem with my apache/cgi-scripts install when upgrading to 1.2.
from the package files: apache_1.1.1-5.deb drwxr-x--- root/root 0 Sep 29 16:32 1996 usr/lib/ drwxr-x--- root/root 0 Sep 29 16:32 1996 usr/lib/httpd/ drwxr-x--- root/root 0 Sep 29 16:32 1996 usr/lib/httpd/cgi-bin/ drwxr-x--- root/root 0 Sep 29 16:33 1996 usr/lib/httpd/icons/ -rw-r----- root/root 4816 Sep 29 16:33 1996 usr/lib/httpd/icons/README -rw-r----- root/root 246 Sep 29 16:33 1996 usr/lib/httpd/icons/a.gif ... -rw-r----- root/root 261 Sep 29 16:33 1996 usr/lib/httpd/icons/world2.gif cgi-scripts_1.0.1-2.deb drwxrws--- root/www-data 0 Oct 2 16:28 1996 usr/lib/ drwxrws--- root/www-data 0 Oct 2 16:28 1996 usr/lib/httpd/ drwxrws--- root/www-data 0 Oct 2 16:28 1996 usr/lib/httpd/cgi-bin/ -rwxr-x--- root/www-data 6220 Oct 2 16:28 1996 usr/lib/httpd/cgi-bin/animate ... -rwxr-x--- root/www-data 2675 Oct 2 16:28 1996 usr/lib/httpd/cgi-bin/wais.pl As you can see above the permissions set by the apache package on /usr/lib/httpd /usr/lib/httpd/cgi-bin /usr/lib/httpd/icons and the files in the icons directory do not allow the server to access these files (by default the server runs as www-data, group www-data). These files and directories either need to be owned by root/www-data or be owned by root/root with world read/execute permission (my personal preference). Christopher E.
