I'm trying to load cgi-bin and I keep getting 403 permissions errors. When I tried to load cgi-bin/index.pl I get 404 page not found. Project permissions are set with chmod -R 755.
The server is running debian squeeze, apache2, with php5-cgi.
This is the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:
DocumentRoot /var/www/
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
Options +Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
Alias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
error.log:

The OP wrote:
Solved: changed the bottom section of 000-default to:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
then installed a few missing perl modules and it worked. Was able to open browser to
/localhost/cgi-bin/index.pl
