I had to enable CGI on this new recent server
sudo a2enmod cgi
sudo service apache2 restart
Simple!,
But I was getting a error script not found or unable to stat
[Mon Nov 30 18:00:32.380748 2015] [cgi:error] [pid 18799] [client 84.91.XXX.XXX:62545] script not found or unable to stat: /usr/lib/cgi-bin/HiPGZ23est4
I had to edit the .conf file
nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/domain.com.conf
and add the following lines
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /path_to_cgi_folder/cgi-bin/ <Directory "/path_to_cgi_folder/cgi-bin/"> AllowOverride None Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>
and then reload the apache configurations
service apache2 reload
