[Zhenyapan]

Hello,

After updating DA from 1.678 to 1.687 with NGINX+Apache and other components which wasn't updated since July
CGI scripts don't work anymore with error:

Hello,

Do you still have correct owner- and group- permissions on the file and the parent folder?

I've got it working on a default server (without customization):

- DirectAdmin 1.688 ea63f4f12a480267e4ee717b26ddd4d6b7a5912b
- nginx version: nginx/1.29.2
- Server version: Apache/2.4.65 (Unix)
- CloudLinux release 9.6 (Georgy Dobrovolsky)
