You are providing no information whatsoever, so let me try a shot in
the utter dark and hope i don't hit any of the cats on your couch:
Maybe you are running httpd(8) chroot(2)ed but don't have any sh(1)
binary in the chroot? That's a common error.
By the way, putting a shell binary in a chroot (or any other
interpreter for that matter, like PHP) is an ugly thing to do, so
a good alternative might be to write the redirect CGI program in C
as well (which you already managed to do for something more
complicated), or even simpler, make it a static HTML page and tell
httpd.conf(5) with location { no fastcgi } and types { } to simply
serve it as text/html, even if the name ends in *.cgi or something
like that.
Yours,
Ingo
