Perl files wont open, give 404

I have a vps running whm and cpanel. [LIST]

CENTOS 6.9 kvm

whm v66.0.23

easy apache 4 No .pl files will run, but instead return an error 404. whether or not they are in the cgi-bin directory. Text files that are in the cgi-bin also give a error 404. I have checked permissions. The cgi-bin directory is 0755, and the files inside are 0644. In WHM in global appache setup changed "directory "/" options" to inlcude exeCGI, followSymLinks, Inlcudes, IncludesNOEXEC, Indexes, SymLinksIfOwnerMatch then restarted apache. In my httpd.conf I found this line was already there: # These extensions are used to redirect incoming requests to WHM AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl .plx .ppl .perl I tried adding this to my .htaccess as well: AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl Options +ExecCGI +IncludesNOEXEC XBitHack on I found a link that said I needed to change my virtualhost to include this line: ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs/cgi-bin/" but my httpd.conf has this line already: ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/qsginc/public_html/cgi-bin/ which is the right directory. I found this link in the forums here: Perl files return 404 but it's not really for easy appache 4 Can someone please let me know what I missed here?

Hello, Try updating the .pl files to 0755 permissions. Also, browse to "WHM >> Modify an Account" and ensure "CGI Privilege" is enabled for the account in-question. Thank you.

Thanks for your help! I changed the permissions to 0755 and confirmed CGI privilege. No change in behavior. I still get the error. Also, it's a 500 error, not 404. I tried changing my question, but it said I couldn't because it had spam. I don't know why it would say that.

What output do you see in /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log when you notice the 500 error code? Thank you.

Hello, What permission and ownership values are configured for the /home/$username/public_html/cgi-bin/ directories and above (up to /home/$username)? Thank you.
