Cgi Scripts Not Working But Pl Scripts are ?

[Guest_imported]

Morning , The advice Kiehlster & RhythmAce gave was correct and worked great , But For some reason Only the Pl Scripts work , when I try a Cgi Script in the same folder it does not work , Only Pl Scripts work in it ???
Any Thought's on this problem are Appreciated ?
Heres what i'm using to get any to work in these subfolder's . Is something Missing , In my Reg Cgi-bin both work fine ...

<Directory &quot;/path/to/folder&quot;>
Options Indexes MultiViews ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

And Add Handler too .

P.S. Thanks guys , I would not have gotten this far without your help !

I think this is a Windows thing. It likes to see the .pl extension. There is no problem renaming *.cgi to *.pl and a lot of scripts suggest this if running on a Windows server.

Sorry - my bad. I didn't see that it was working in your regular cgi-bin. When you use the ScriptAlias directive it told apache that everything in that dir should be treated as a script. The AddHandler directive should do the same thing but is based on the extention rather than the dir. I left out an important part in an earlier post. It should read:

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl

Sorry - this will NEVER happen again. )

Hello , You didnt leave it out , AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
It was there really , i did uncomment it though , was i supposed to add it some where else too ?
Still cant get cgi to work but Pl does , or is there anything missing from :
Options Indexes MultiViews ExecCGI ?
Thanks for responding so soon !

Did you restart apache after you made the changes? Try a plus sign in front of ExecCGI like this: +ExecCGI. The AddHandler should be fine where it is, as long as it is uncommented. ) The only difference in the 2 directories is that cgi-bin is a ScriptAliased directory. If all else fails. You can rename the files with the .pl extention or see if apache will let you ScriptAlias a second dir. I bet I get smacked around for suggesting that. )
