Change `Alias /cgi-bin /var/www/cgi-bin/` [download] to be `ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/cgi-bin/` [download] (note use of ScriptAlias rather than Alias and the new trailing slash in the first string after ScriptAlias)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Your test script cannot run because it is not a cgi script, so Apache cannot run it. Try this instead: `#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "<html>"; print "<header><title>Hello</title></header>"; print "<body>"; print "<p>Hello World!</p>\n"; print "</body>"; print "</html>"; 1;` [download] The next problem is your Apache configuration. What version is Apache? You can find that by typing this into a terminal: `apachectl -V` [download] If your Apache is 2.4, you need to add this line to the configuration: `Require all granted` [download] That goes at the bottom of your directory configuration. Also make the changes that davebaker and AnonymousMonk have mentioned.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
