In your apache config file (probably in '/etc/httpd/conf/' and named either
just 'http.conf' or '*.conf') you have to associate the extension .cgi with
... I cannot recall what the line looks like. But grep for "\.cgi" in your
conf files and see if the line is commented out. If so, you need to become
root, edit the file, remove the leading pound, (save the file) and reload
apache with '/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd reload'
I'm trying to think how the stock install looks... and I think you should be
able to execute cgi in /cgi-bin/. What is the error message in the logs?
One thing the RPM-ified Apache will do is move all your config files. So in
that conf directory, you'll see a bunch of .rpmsave files. It's up to you
to migrate the changes from the old version to the new. I'd guess there is
an error in there.
