Hello all,

A script makes a GET request to my URL like so:

http://mydomain.com/cgi-bin/uu_ini_status_audios.pl?tmp_sid=b742be1d131c4d32237a9f1fcdca659e&rnd_id=0.2363453360320319

However, I get a 404 returned straight away:

The requested URL /cgi-bin/uu_ini_status_audios.pl was not found on this server.

But that script exists on my server, I can see the file! It has the correct permissions (I gave it a 777 to be sure). It is also owned by my apache user and its in the group apache.

What am I missing??

Thanks for any help on this!

Update

I thought it would have been a htaccess (rewrite) but I don't think it is anymore. I tried putting a index.php file in there and try to access it via my URL but I can't even do that! I tried this:

http://mydoamin.com/cgi-bin/index.php - same 404 error! I get this in myerror log:

[Tue Sep 14 14:42:49 2010] [error] [client xx.xxx.xx.xxx] script not found or unable to stat: /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/cgi-bin

Update 2

My htaccess file:
