won't execute .sh/.cgi

I had no problems executing .sh and cgi scripts yesterday. Today I rebooted the server and Apache will not execute these files. Everything looks good in httpd.conf. There have been no changes since the last time I checked.

Why you repeated your subject again? What we'd want to know is how can you tell?

Fair enough, I have several scripts, both in cgi-bin directory and elsewhere that executed no problem a couple of days ago. Now they won't execute. I'm guessing the problem is in httpd.conf but I have been over it with a fine toothed comb and could not find any errors. It seem to not be loading the correct modules. Both mod.cgi.so and mod.perl.so are added.

I said how can you tell because I was referring to:
1) Does it prompt you to download your script?
2) Does it print out the codes on screen?
3) Any error message?

Is your cgi-bin a ScriptAlias dir?
Do you have options ExecCGI in that <Directory> block?

By default, you can't exec your cgi scripts anywhere unless you have enabled ExecCGI in your docroot dir.

>> It seem to not be loading the correct modules

There is no such thing as mod.cgi.so, it should be mod_cgi.so or libperl.so for mod_perl.

You said you have mod_perl installed, so please show us the <IfModule mod_perl.c> block.
