Re: [users@httpd] .htaccess => .cgi => forbidden / START-CGI
Yeah, I guess so.
But maybe you can help me with a workaround. - My initial wish is to start a
cgi-script instead of the index.html when someone accesses my site. On
another Server, where I am able to edit httpd.conf I simply added index.cgi
to the directory-index and added the needed parameters.
I tried to use DirectoryIndex /cgi-bin/go.pl - which worked fine, but did
also change the behavior with subdirs.
When I access www.mypage.xxx it startet my go.pl - when I access
www.mypage.xxx/subdir it does also start go.pl and passes /subdir/ through a
variable to it. I'm a bit confused because there is no .htaccess in subdir.
In my opinion it should present www.mypage.xxx/subdir/index.html.
All I need is to call a cgi-script when someone browses to my rootpage.
Other subdirs should not be affected. There must be a way through .htaccess
Thanks in advance
Harry

RE: [users@httpd] .htaccess => .cgi => forbidden / START-CGI
Posted by Jeff Cohen <ap...@gej-it.com>.
That's right! Try redirecting:
Redirect index.html /cgi-bin/go.pl
How about that??
All the best,
