New server with CGI problem.

[MichaelMcC]

Hi, I just leased a new server with DA and everything seemed smooth setting it up with the domain and nameservers. Everything resolves perfectly. If I try to access and run the script test.cgi in the cgi-bin from any domain I get the error:

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

I looked at the httpd/error_log and shows no error.
The httpd/suexec_log has the error:

[2013-02-05 14:38:12]: uid: (501/admin) gid: (502/admin) cmd: test.cgi

Yes the persmisions are 755
All users have CGI access.
Same script runs fine on other servers.
I can run the script in that dir without errors from shell

Has anyone come across this or am I missing something obvious?

Thanks, Michael

Check the error log for that exact domain it will be in /var/log/directadmin/domains/domain.com.error

or just go to user level for that domain and check the error log to see what it is complaining about.

Nothing there, I looked at all the logs and nothing to narrow it down. Thanks for the tip.

As a followup, it seems as though there are many differences between Perl 5.8.8 and 5.10.1 .. Scripts that ran fine before now only give a server misconfiguration error and not a premature end of script or other error. I have not narrowed it down to anything specific.

I have hundreds of scripts on the old server I'm moving from and all written for Perl 5.8.8 or earlier and I think I'm better off switching back to Perl 5.8.8 ..
