Well you may not have know there was a problem. The dialog was why can't I get CGI working with two VirtualHosts. Then I went down the long trail of trying to set up CGI outside of the DocumentRoot. I moved everything down a notch and then also down a notch within each user's space. Absolutely nothing I did thereafter brought the slightest hint that CGI would ever work again. I cannot state with absolute certainty that I tried every single combination of user, group, and permissions and every variation on cofiguring the apache httpd.conf, or read every single document describing apache configuration for VirtualHosts but I believe I tried most of them, and read many. ZipNada.
Bill Moseley's run through a number of possible layouts proved to have at least gotten me back to square one (one CGI bin working). He mentioned SuEXEC...and gave me a link to the Apache doc on the subject. I have SuEXEC installed, and apparently working fine as it is supposed to do. Except that it does not, for security and efficiency reasons, endquote, work below the first level of the Server's DocumentRoot, or the First Level under the VirtualHost DocumentRoot. So I moved everything back up a notch. Tomorrow I see if I can get the second CGI bin to work now that I have a small understanding the role of SuEXEC. Best Wishes!
