new install issue

This mailing list rocks!  That was it! Thank you Martin for pointing me 
to the apache2 module that needed enabled.  I added the cgid.load module 
to the /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ directory and restarted the apache2 
service and everything started working like magic.  Good job. Thanks again!

Does apache loads the cgi module? Yuo can check it using "a2query -m 
cgid" or listing the files in mods-enabled directory "ls -l 
/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/cgid.load"

    The installation would have written
    $xymonhome/server/etc/xymon-apache.conf.  Did you copy that to the
    Apache config file directory, then restart Apache?  It contains
    the ExecCGI option for the CGI directory, and without that, Apache
    doesn't know to execute the scripts, so it just pushes them out as
    plain text.

        I've looked in apache logs and xymon logs and I don't see
        anything wrong.  The permissions all look the same on both the
        working and nonworking servers.  I'm just missing something
        simple I'm sure but I don't know where to look.

        Thank you.

        Apache isn't executing it, I'd guess the config wasn't
        included.  Might also check the httpd logs.

            Check the ownership of the files - I had a similar issue
            and the web server couldn't execute the cgi.

            I've got a stable server hosted on AWS and I'm trying to
            build a new server on my ESXi VM server hosted
            elsewhere.  Both are using Xymon 4.3.17 and both are
            build on Ubuntu 14.04.  I've got Xymon2 up and supposedly
            configured the same as Xymon1.  It's displaying the basic
            colored webpage with alerts functioning.  My problem is
            that when I click any colored icon to view the drilldown
            info I get this message.

            #!/bin/sh
            # This is a wrapper for the Xymon svcstatus.cgi script
            . /usr/lib/xymon/server/etc/cgioptions.cfg exec
            /usr/lib/xymon/server/bin/svcstatus.cgi $CGI_SVC_OPTS

            I tend to think this is an apache2 issue but I can't
            figure out what it is.  I'm comparing Xymon1 and Xymon2
            config files and I'm not seeing anything wrong.  Anybody
            have a clue for me?

            Thank you.
