check the error log for that domain. It will tell u why it is failing.

also I think the script has to have the username:username ownsership . search more here for answers

it is a .htm file which will call for countdown.pl

and i can't run both countdown.htm and .pl too

The issue is the way apache conf is been setup

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/xxx/domains/xxxxx/public_html/cgi-bin/

Since cgi-bin directory is only set as script alias, so it will only allow the scripts to be executed. You cant run any static content like .htm or even images. It considers each file as a script and tries to execute it.

this is done for safety as you can then lock down the perl scripts execution and your scripts are separated from your static content.

You probably might need to use AddHandler directive.
