[users@httpd] cgi as directory index?
I'm sure this one is really simple, but I don't know what I am doing
wrong. I have the following config block in my httpd.conf file:
ScriptAlias /abc /var/www/abc/cgi-bin
<Directory /var/www/abc/cgi-bin>
Options +ExecCGI
allow from all
directoryindex abc.cgi
</Directory>
if I go to http://<myserver>/abc/abc.cgi, it works fine. However, if I
just go to http://<myserver>/abc, I get a "Forbidden" message. The
error log shows "attempt to invoke directory as script: /var/www/abc/
cgi-bin". I want to be able to just type http://<myserver>/abc to get
to the script. What am I missing here? Thanks.

Because I didn't know you could do that. I thought aliases had to
point to directories :) Knew it would be something simple :-P

Why don't you do
ScriptAlias /abc /var/www/abc/cgi-bin/abc.cgi
?
