I have just upgraded my linux distribution from SuSE 9.0 to 9.3 and am having a problem with Apache2.
One of the applications that I use every day for my research is WebMO, a gui for a number of computational chemistry programs. It runs in a browser, specifically Firefox. Before the upgrade it ran without any complaints.
Now when I attempt to login to WebMO I get the message:
'This is an executable Perl-based cgi script. If you can read this comment,# then your web server is not properly configured to execute cgi scripts in this directory. You must reconfigure your web server to allow cgi script execution in this directory before you can successfully run WebMO.'
There is a diagnose perl script with WebMO that gives me the following message:
'Checking for UserDir enabled: Failed Uncomment the line 'UserDir public_html' '
That's the problem. Now, how have I attempted to solve it. First of all, let me admit that the apache.org web site has not been a great help.
You did remember to restart apache didn't you?
An excellent question (and I am not being facetious). Yes, I restarted apache2 after each and every change.
