showing source instead of executing 1

[Corwinsw]

Noob question.
I have my first cgi script and when I run it the browser displays the source code of the script instead of executing it.
I added both:

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/"
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl

My script is set to 755.
May be I should add some preferences to the proxy server?
Or should point the script some way. I am new to Apache and don't know if I should do something else except start it.
I would appreciate any clue.

Hi

The mod_cgi module is loaded ? Is [tt]Option ExecCGI[/tt] given to that directory ?

yup it looks like I haven't installed mod_cgi - httpd -l doesn't show it and it is not mentioned nowhere in the config file.

So i tried this:

LoadModule mod_cgi /usr/local/src/apache_1.3.26/src/modules/standard/mod_cgi.c
AddModule /usr/local/src/apache_1.3.26/src/modules/standard/mod_cgi.c

but nothing happened.
What is the exact syntax to add module in the config file?

Hi

Is that a typo, or you really try to load .c source file instead of .so object file ?

LoadModule cgi_module lib/httpd/mod_cgi.so

Not a typo.
I loaded after that mod_cgi.so.
Obviously I'll have to read about apache to continue.
10x for the help.
