Apache came configured to try to run cgi scripts out of /usr/lib/httpd/cgi-bin. Apache was unable to run any cgi scripts because it couldn't find them despite the fact that apache's configuration file pointed right to them.
To make a long story short, it turns out /usr/lib/httpd was owned by root and had privileges of rwxr_x___ . So, I changed this directory's privileges to rwxr_xr_x which let apache read further down the directory tree, and all is now o.k. I worry though about my novice hand changing the privileges on something so sensitive as the cgi directories. I was wondering if someone could post the proper file privileges for and who is supposed to own the files from /usr/lib/httpd on down.
