I am running a cgi script on Linux and what is happening is that when I look at the scrit through the browser, I see the script text itself instead of the executable. It is reading the cgi as text instead of cgi. I don't know anything about apache, but everyone keeps telling me it's an apache issue. Can someone help?

CGI script and Apache

check your httpd.conf file. Most likely you did have a configuration problem.
First make sure you enabled cgi by uncommenting the part in httpd.conf that shows cgi handler and the cgi/pl extension.
You will also want to make sure the directory you are running the cgi scrpt from has the proper permissions and that the script itself has proper permissions (755).
Lastly, are you running it in a virualhost container?
Hope this helps!!!
