Received 404 not found error on existing CGI script

[barry kimelman <perlmaster56@xxxxxxxxx>]

my system is an ubuntu 20.04 lts laptop.

I successfully installed apache2. I verified the installation by visiting http://localhost:80

Now I am having problems trying to run a Perl CGI script which I had running under Windows 10 on  Apache 2.4

I modified the sites-enabled/000-default.conf file by removing the '#' from the start of the "Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf" line. I then created the /usr/lib/cgi-bin directory. I next put a small Perl CGI script named "printenv.cgi" under /usr/lib/cgi-bin. I then restarted the apache2 server. When I attempted to run my newly created CGI script gy visiting localhost:80/cgi-bin/printenv.cgi all that happened was I received a "404 Not Found" error. I looked at the apache logfile and it provided no further info.

I even tried using the "wget" command. same 404 error.

What have I done wrong?
