CGI-directories can't have DirectoryIndex changed

           Summary: CGI-directories can't have DirectoryIndex changed
           Product: Apache httpd-1.3
           Version: 1.3.27
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: MacOS X
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: Other
         Component: Auth/Access
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: boydb@uwstout.edu


I have several individual  CGI projects in individual folders in the cgi-bin of my server, 
and am trying to configure the server so that if the URL that is typed in is just the name of 
the folder, it jumps to index.cgi in that folder. I have tried:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi

In the main server configuration file, and have tried the same in an .htaccess file in the 
directory in question. Both attempts come back with a 403 error and a log in the Error Log 
that there was an "attempt to invoke directory as script:"

I also found elsewhere on the net (http://citadelle.intrinsec.com/mailing/current/HTML/
ml_apache-server-bugs/0152.html) a complaint of a similar problem with Apache 2.0.28, 
but not with Apache 1.3.12. Has that functionality been turned off between versions 
1.3.12 and 1.3.27? If so, Why?
