[Techtalk] Apache 2.4.7 on Ubuntu Shows Source of CGI Script

[Kai MacTane]

Hi. I have Apache 2.4.7 installed as part of my Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS setup.

I have an old Perl script, tecindo.cgi. The file is mode 755. When I go 
to kagan.mactane.org/software/archives/quenya/tecindo.pl it just shows 
me the source code.

In /etc/apache2/sites-available/mactane.conf, I have:

     <Directory /home/kmactane/website/live/software/archive/quenya>
         Options   Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
         AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
     </Directory>

The cgi module is actiavated; there is a symlink from 
/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/cgi.load to ../mods-available.cgi.load, and 
a2enmod agrees it's enabled:

     root at finrod:/etc/apache2/mods-enabled# a2enmod cgi
     Module cgi already enabled
     root at finrod:/etc/apache2/mods-enabled#

Loading the URL causes a normal log entry in access_log, and nothing in 
error_log:

192.168.1.1 - - [29/Mar/2015:14:26:05 -0700] "GET 
/software/archives/quenya/tecindo.cgi HTTP/1.1" 200 28006 "-" 
"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:36.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/36.0"

Everything I can find by web-searching just says to enable the CGI 
module, but I've already got it enabled. Can anyone help?
