cgi-bin resolves to wrong location

[bitsgalore]

Example:

http://mazda.nl/cgi-bin/dealer

Returns 404. Source:

<A HREF=/cgi-bin/dealer><IMG SRC=323.jpg WIDTH=188 HEIGHT=100 BORDER=0><BR>Of vind nu al de kortste weg naar de Mazda dealer</A>

Looking at httpd.conf:

Exec    /cgi-bin/*	/home/local/www/mazda/cgi-bin/*

So originally this resolved to location outside of "root" dir defined in:

Map /*.map  /htbin/htimage/home/local/www/mazda/root/

So how does the server "know" that it has to use the script inside the mazda/cgi-bin/ dir?

So perhaps /cgi-bin/ needs ScriptAlias or sth similar:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18903002/apache-scriptalias-cgi-bin-directory

But look here:

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/vhosts/mass.html

So (TODO: modify script so /var/www/chi-bin is included as well!):

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/xxLINK-DDS-2/www/mazda/cgi-bin/"
ScriptAlias /htbin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"

But now wet get a 500 Internal Server Error. Apache log file:

[Fri Oct 16 18:08:24.893667 2020] [cgid:error] [pid 18738:tid 139934497795008] (2)No such file or directory: AH01241: exec of '/var/www/xxLINK-DDS-2/www/mazda/cgi-bin/dealer' failed

Looking at the script:

#!/bin/perl
#
# Requires: lib vsbbank

# $spath_real: the path of the script on the server
$spath_real = '/home/local/www/mazda/cgi-bin';

# Obtain the subroutines needed
require "$spath_real/lib";
require "$spath_real/mazda";

First of all interpreter defined in shebang (/bin/perl) doesn't exist on file system, so changed this to /usr/bin/perl. After that script runs, but fails on:

[Fri Oct 16 18:21:36.050241 2020] [core:notice] [pid 1517:tid 139934497795008] AH00094: Command line: '/usr/sbin/apache2'

Which is caused bc script has hard-coded path ( '/home/local/www/mazda/cgi-bin') that exists somewhere else on the local fs.

Also, apparently the script dependson locally installed custom software as well (lib vsbbank):
