Have you tried changing ownership with "chown username script.cgi" in 
telnet for a user name of that particular virtual site??

I can't run simple CGI's on a RAQ2 either. I've:

1. changed permissions - (775, 755, 750)
2. changed owner (admin, httpd, site-adm '<-doesn't work')
3. changed owner and group (chown http.site1)
4. added the following .htaccess into /cgi-bin/

   Options FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
   AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
   AddType    text/html     .shtml
   AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
   AddHandler cgi-script .pl cgi-bin/

Please Help!!! They are simple scripts and I can't get past cgi-wrapper.
