[kw-pm] Frustrating problem (fwd)

[abez]

Did you change your docroot? Is it executable? Do you know what you've
set your docroot to?

What about using .htaccess:
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .pl

Thanks, there it was in suexec.log, "command not in docroot".  So,
this is saying the cgi file is not in document root I assume?  The
httpd.conf is setup (as far as I can tell by looking at it) to run cgi
file within each virtual domains cgi-bin directory, which is where the
file currently is.  I copied it over to /var/www/cgi-bin as well, just
to see if it works.  Still giving the same error.  The thing I mostly
don't understand is how this was working so well for so long and then
suddenly just stopped.  Must have been an update to apache or
something that was recently done... probably just have something in
the httpd.conf configured wrong.  Either that or plesk (yes, they
insist on having a control panel) has done something stupid.. which
wouldn't be the first time I've seen a system running plesk mess
something up seemingly on its own.
