You need to access a particular file within the directory, not the
directory itself.  As in http://yoursite.example.com/cgi-bin/file.cgi

I checked the error log and this is what I found::

[Tue Dec 09 15:49:20 2003] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] attempt to invoke 
directory as script: c:/wwwroot/cgi-bin

what should I do then

Thank you
