[NBLUG/talk] Debian, Apache2, and Perl

[Daniel Kinon]

Hey Guys,
   So I've run into a brick wall trying to configure apache2 on a
debian(sarge) installation.  I have apache2 and mod-perl installed and
I can't seem to get my cgi setup to work... whenever I try to access a
perl script, the browser tries to download it instead of run it.  If
there is are any helpful sites or help you can offer I would be very
greatful, so far google has failed me.  Here is the section from my
apache2.conf that handles that directory:


<VirtualHost *>
        ServerAdmin webmaster at localhost

        DocumentRoot /var/www/

        DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm index.shtml
index.cgi index.pl
        AddHandler cgi-script .php .cgi .sh .pl



        <Directory />
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride None
        </Directory>
        <Directory /var/www/>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride None
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
                # This directive allows us to have apache2's default start
page
                # in /apache2-default/, but still have / go to the right
place
                #RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/
        </Directory>


        <Directory /var/www/imdb/>
          Options       ExecCGI
          AddHandler    cgi-script .cgi
        </Directory>

        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>

        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

        # alert, emerg.
