I am trying to get a cgi script, really a Perl script, to run. When
I try to run it from a web browser using a URL of:
http://www.abc.com/first.pl I receive this error:
Object not found! and the log says:
File does not exist: /home/abc/html/first.pl

Now when I try this URL: http://www.abc.com/cgi-bin/first.pl I still get
an Object Not Found! still. The log says: script not found or unable to
stat: /srv/www/cgi-bin/first.pl

What I have in the vhost.conf file for this host is:
<Directory "/home/abc/html/cgi-bin">
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
Options ExecCGI
SetHandler cgi-script
</Directory>

The first.pl script is in the /home/abc/html/cgi-bin directory and has a
permission of rwxrwxr-x.

So what am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Commonly on a filesystem cgi-bin is not below but rather aside of html:
/home/abc/html
/home/abc/cgi-bin

Some directive alike
<scriptalias /cgi-bin /home/abc/cgi-bin >
apparently maps this cgi-bin folder to the URL and overrules -or masks- the
quoted <Directory ...> block.

Should not the permission of the file be rwxr-xr-x (755) not rwxrwxr-x (775)
