CGI - Internal Server Error

Just moving a server

[marciano]

I am moving my physical server.
Apache 2.2.4 -> 2.2.8
I kept the CGI settings but I am getting an error 500 when accessing the same file as the old server.
Just in case, I also tried a testing hello.pl

httpd.conf in both servers
LoadModule suexec_module modules/mod_suexec.so
LoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.so
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl (or AddHandler cgi-script cgi pl)
<VirtualHost *:80>
<Directory /home/user/public_html>
Options Indexes IncludesNOEXEC FollowSymLinks
Allow from all
<Directory /home/user/public_html/search>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
# or
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
</Directory>
</Virtualhost>

These are the four last lines of /etc/httpd/logs/error_log
(just restarting Apache)

Thank you in advance for any help

Probably not this simple, but your first <Directory> container is unclosed -- and therefore affects the second one.

Good point. But this is a transcription error.
The original httpd.conf contains the </Directory>

I cannot realize what is happening here.
I use Webmin to simplify sys operations.
Yesterday I got an error 500 performing a Webmin-CGI script.

What is in your server error log when you get these errors?
