This is really baffling because CGI was working last week and now when

All I did was add a name based virtual host in
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ and /etc/apache2/sites-available/
I am running apache2-mpm-prefork version 2.2.9-7 on Debian lenny/sid.
/usr/lib/cgi-bin/ has darcs.cgi, darcsweb.cgi and awstats.pl
Previously to access one of these I would do:
http://www.jesujuva.org/cgi-bin/darcsweb.cgi
But now when I do that I get this file not found error:
404 Not Found
The requested URL /cgi-bin/darcsweb.cgi was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) PHP/5.2.6-3 with Suhosin-Patch Server at
www.jesujuva.org Port 80
It is clearly there so why is it saying not found? Argh this is so frustrating.
/etc/apache2/sites-available/default has:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
/etc/apach2/mods-enabled/cgi.load has:
LoadModule cgi_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_cgi.so
ls shows this module exists:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 20256 2008-08-08 13:39
/usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_cgi.so
/etc/apache2/mods-available/cgid.conf has:
# Socket for cgid communication
ScriptSock /var/run/apache2/cgisock
/etc/apache2/conf.d/darcsweb.conf has:
Alias /darcs /var/www/darcs
Alias /darcsweb /usr/share/darcsweb
<Directory "/usr/share/darcsweb">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
RedirectMatch ^/darcsweb$ /cgi-bin/darcsweb.cgi
</Directory>
I don't see why it worked last week and now it doesn't. I didn't
upgrade apache2, I didn't edit any of the config files except adding a
named based virtual host which I did by creating
/etc/apache2/sites-available/darcs which has:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName darcs.jesujuva.org
ServerAlias jesujuva.org www.jesujuva.org darcs.jesujuva.org
DocumentRoot /var/www/darcs
</VirtualHost>
And creating a symlink to that named darcs in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
So why is CGI not working and how can I fix it?
I get the same "404 Not Found" error if I try other programs in
/usr/lib/cgi-bin such as darcs.cgi or awstats.pl

Assuming you have something like this in your config:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
You would access a cgi as http://darcs.jesujuva.org/cgi-bin/awstats.pl
cgi-bin is an alias for /usr/lib/cgi-bin _which is not in the document
root's tree_
