This unfortunately doesn't help. It wasn't uncommented in either the
working or non-working machines, but I experimented with it. CGI does
work in the main document root of the server, but not in individual user
home cgi-bin directories of the one machine (the RH 6.2 machine does
work right for ~/cgi-bin/, only 7.1 fails). According to the AddHandler
comments, AddHandler cgi-script .cgi should allow cgi to run outside of
the ScriptAlias directories, anywhere it can view and has exec perms
for. Strange that uncommenting it means it still fails. Additionally, it
is ScriptAlias'd, and the ScriptAlias causes it to find and view non-cgi
files in the ~/cgi-bin/, it just can't execute anything. :(
