It can have that effect :o) As near as I can tell from the logs, my problems started during a re-emerge of apache, not a new version (reasons unknown -- portage seems to be doing that more than I'm used to). I've started to wonder if I didn't just screw up the usual config file stuff I do with dispatch-conf, not realizing zapping the new would be best. Anyway, I'm going to be exploring. Do you have cgi working on apache2 (2.2.15), and if so, how things are arranged? I'll be trying to make a cgi out of a hello world in C, to see if my current config can CGI at all. If not, I'll be trying to back out config changes. What a mess! -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD

I may have found the root of the problem: examine the following output of an
eix query on apache, and note that the cgi stuff seems to be turned off in
the installed version.

Description: The Apache Web Server.
The installed version seems to have CGI turned off completely (notice - in
installed version). I cannot find any reason either in
/etc/portage/package.use nor in /usr/portage/profiles or its subdirectories.
Is there someplace else to look?

AddHandler cgi-script cgi py Thanks, Kyle, you've been getting me closer and closer. If I'm starting to get the new stuff, AddHandler declares certain extensions. Up until last month, extensions were not required, and in fact my CGI programs have never had them. It used to be enough to use ScriptAlias, and put an executable in the directory. If it was a script with a shebang, or a compiled ELF program all was well. If I were going to use extensions, it would be .py or possibly .python, not .cgi or .pl. I totally meant to have it be py instead of pl, I guess pounding away at perl all day yesterday warped my mind. -- Kyle

I see hints that the same sort of thing can still be accomplished, and I'd rather do that than break my RCS version sequence because of a name change. I'll report back. -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD
