SOLVED: it looks like NOT running CGI had become the default. I just had to configure the Gentoo USE flags and recompile to enable it.<br>This is another price of running a compile-from-source distribution, I guess.<br><br>

I've got an odd problem on apache2, running on Gentoo. A recent re-emerge has hosed my existing setup. Because it's a re-emerge, it's possible I screwed it up myself during the reconciliation of configuration files. I've been R-ing a lot of FMs and getting a re-education, and I've solved the problem that kept the daemon from starting at all, but it's still serving the source code of my CGI scripts rather than executing them. The configs and file/directory permissions all look okay to me now, so I'm into serious debug mode.<br>
<br>The folks on the gentoo list seem to mostly paraphrase man page snippets at me, which did help me get the server to start so I shouldn't complain, but it's not getting my CGI up and running. I know I can debug this, but I also know there are several roads to follow and if I guess wrong this could take quite a long time, so I wonder if there's anybody here who *really* knows apache 2 configuration, and whether that changed at all around July 13.<br clear="all">
