[users@httpd] redirecting...

when one browses to http://localhost/
they get the document <apache path>/htdocs/index.html,
right?
but I write a CGI script to generate this page
automatically and dynamically...I want that when the
user browses to http://localhost/
they get <apache path>/cgi-bin/myindexscript.cgi

how do I do that?
appearantly
"RedirectPermanent" only works for path, not file...

Or just add

	DirectoryIndex /cgi-bin/myindexscript.cgi

to the document root directory. This will cause the index producing cgi 
script being excuted.

Good luck

Add:
     DirectoryIndex myindexscript.cgi 
and
     AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

to your httpd.conf. Then redirect to the directory.
