Using webmin I setup an Apache virtual server under ubuntu 18.04. Server directives are:
DocumentRoot /home/name/public_html
ServerName www.name.com
<Directory "/home/name/public_html">
allow from all
Options None
Require all granted
Options ExecCGI
</Directory>
I have perl scripts in two directories, /cgi-bin/A/a.cgi and /cgi-bin/B/b.cgi. I have two PHP scripts delivering two web pages, a.php and b.php with links that connect to these scripts. When I click on <a href="/cgi-bin/A/a.cgi" the link works correctly and the perl script returns its output. However, when I click on <a href="/cgi-bin/B/b.cgi" I get "script not found or unable to stat: /usr/lib/cgi-bin/B".
I am perplexed as to how the first link works but the second doesn't, even though they are otherwise identical. Why is Apache replacing the /cgi-bin/B file path with /usr/lib/cgi-bin/B but not /cgi-bin/A? Thanks in advance for help.
