Run CGI Script from cgi-bin 500 error

[kilburn]

.htaccess is checked for existance in all folders that doesn't have "AllowOverride None" set. The "cgi-bin" folder itself should be owned by vuXXX:vuXXX and have 0755 permissions.

Coincidentally, I've got a report from one of my users about the same issue. At the end, it turned out that he was using "#!/usr/local/bin/perl" as shebang, which doesn't exist on my server. The front-error was "500 internal server error", and there was an entry in "/var/log/apache2/suexec.log" stating "(2)No such file or directory: exec failed (script.cgi)".

Replacing the shebang by the correct "#!/usr/bin/perl" solved the issue...
