Error with cgi-bin 500 internal server error

[approx]

hi there,

i'm trying to put a cgi script inside the cgi-bin

when i saw on error_log

[Thu Mar 05 22:52:51 2009] [error] [client 1.2.3.4] failed to open log file
[Thu Mar 05 22:52:51 2009] [error] [client 1.2.3.4] fopen: Permission denied
[Thu Mar 05 22:52:51 2009] [error] [client 1.2.3.4] Premature end of script headers: test.pl
[Thu Mar 05 22:52:51 2009] [error] [client 1.2.3.4] File does not exist: /home/user/public_html/500.shtml

When I open the script trough browser, it shows me

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@www.mysite.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I already put

<Directory /home/*/public_html/cgi-bin>
Options +ExecCGI
</Directory>

on my httpd.conf

Is there somethink I'm missing?

Seems there is permission error on test.pl

The permissions of the script files should be set to 755.

You say you already made sure that it was chmod 755. What is the ownership of the file?

test.cgi

#!/usr/bin/perl


print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

print "Hello World";

In your VirtualHost container for that site, put a line like this:

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /actual/path/to/cgi-bin/

Also, make sure there is an appropriate AddHandler line in your main apache configuration section such as:

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl .plx .ppl .perl

Restart apache. See if that helps. I'm not an Apache guru.

inside the virtual hosts

    <IfModule !mod_disable_suexec.c>
        SuexecUserGroup myusername myusername
    </IfModule>
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/myusername/public_html/cgi-bin/

In httpd.conf it's already contained

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl .plx .ppl .perl

Also I already restarted the apache by typing

/scripts/restartsrv_httpd

still has no luck!

You seem to be fairly persistent, which leads me to believe you really need this answer. I would suggest that you open a ticket with whomever provided your Cpanel license to you. You can plug the main IP address of your server in at http://verify.cpanel.net to determine who you need to contact. I'm sure that would be the best way to get support, as you can then give them appropriate access to take a look at everything.
