Run script for directory index

Hey All,

I'm trying to have my MP2 script that displays HTML run when someone hits the docroot (http://www.mydomain.com)..
It may be considered somewhat off-topic, but when using standard CGI I didn't have any problems doing this by just having:

"DirectoryIndex /cgi-bin/index.cgi"

But I can't seem to accomplish the same thing using MP2 while still being able to define other dirs (like a image dir)..

Here is a trimmed example of my conf file, If I change the <Location /index> to just <Location />, I'll get the results I want when hitting the docroot, but then anything else defined (like the images), just invokes my MP2 handler.

Can someone tell me what I'm missing here?
Running MP2, Apache 2 on RH9

Thanks
-Chris

Hi Michael,

I gave it a shot, unfortunately I got the same results.
I'm starting to run out of things to try!!

Thanks

try changing

to
          AddHandler perl-script

I had a similar problem and my understanding is that AddHandler won't clobber
any existing default handlers for things like images so that they will get
handled correctly.

Doh!!! Thanks Stas, the "default-handler" was exactly it..
I did try on mixing and matching the 2 container types before with the same
results, but now with the "default-handler" added they both work properly.

Thanks Again!

I think you simply miss:
    SetHandler default-handler
when overriding / in the /images container.

If it still doesn't work, I'd suspect a bug in merging rules. What happens if
you use either two Location containers or two Directory containers and not
mixing them?

<Location "/">
         SetHandler perl-script
         PerlHandler INDEX::Index
</Location>
Alias /images "/websites/domain/site_root/html/images/"
<Location "/images">
         SetHandler default-handler
         Order allow,deny
         Allow from all
</Directory>
