Get rid of scriptalias, you don't need it in this context as freeside
doesn't run out of a cgi-bin url. Next, I noticed you are running apache
2.0. Based on the fact you didn't mention the error that usually comes
up with this (regarding mod_perl and apache 2.0), I suspect that you may
have not installed mod_perl. What do your error_log files say about
that?
Now, it is a known issue that mod_perl 2.0 and apache 2.0 don't play
nice. Your best bet is to create a separate apache install for freeside
(using the latest apache 1.3.xx). Make sure you have installed mod_perl.
I installed this using mason instead of apache::asp but I suspect the
perl interpreter is never even getting invoked from the httpd.conf file.
(a quick httpd -l will verify if mod_perl is compiled in statically or
not).
