I've just tried to install Bugzilla on my machine for test purposes. I'm going to evaluate the Bugzilla REST API for a company i'm currently interning at. The problem is that when I go to http://localhost/bugzilla/ this is what i'm seeing.

use Bugzilla;

my $template = Bugzilla->template;
my $vars = {};

# else accidentally relies on the current login.
if ($cgi->param('logout')) {
    Bugzilla->logout();
    $user = Bugzilla->user;
    $vars->{'message'} = "logged_out";
    # Make sure that templates or other code doesn't get confused about this.
    $cgi->delete('logout');

# Return the appropriate HTTP response headers.
print $cgi->header();

if ($user->in_group('admin')) {
    # If 'urlbase' is not set, display the Welcome page.
    unless (Bugzilla->params->{'urlbase'}) {
        $template->process('welcome-admin.html.tmpl')
          || ThrowTemplateError($template->error());
        exit;
    }
    # Inform the administrator about new releases, if any.
    $vars->{'release'} = Bugzilla::Update::get_notifications();
}

# Generate and return the UI (HTML page) from the appropriate template.
$template->process("index.html.tmpl", $vars)
  || ThrowTemplateError($template->error());

I added

<directory /var/www/>
Addhandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
Options +Indexes +ExecCGI +FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</directory>

to the 000-default.conf file to allow CGI-script in all areas.

My CGI module was not enabled.

I went to the terminal and typed a2enmod which then gave me a choice of modules to enable. I entered cgi, it enabled it. Then I ran service apache2 restart and that solved my problem.
