A thorough search of the server turns up just two files named precisely
httpd.conf. Their paths are
/private/etc/apache2
/private/etc/apache2/original
Both have the desired path in them /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables
There are variations on the name, all with suffixes such as .pre-update and
original. Even they have the desired path though.
I did find a hidden file name .httpd.conf.swp with no apparent reference in it
though much of it appears to be binary.
So I remain at a loss as to where Apache is getting the path it's using.
The URL is http://domain.com/cgi-bin/my.cgi <http://domain.com/cgi-bin/my.cgi>
And that works IF I locate the scripts to:
/Library/Server/Web/Data/CGI-Executables
