apache
>Environment:
Red Hat Linux release 7.0 (Guinness)
Kernel 2.2.16-22 on an i686 (not using the RedHat Apache RPM)
>Description:
The "Options" directive is being ignored in a named VirtualHost container,
and the options defined for "/" in the main server config are used instead.
This used to work fine in my previous Apache installation (1.3.3)
>How-To-Repeat:
I am building a new server on my local network, so no URL is available.
Quite simply set Options to something that differs from the main <Directory />
container.  Eg:

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
</Directory>
.
.
.
NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.10
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.10>
        DocumentRoot /home/staff/trev/public_html
        ServerName TT5.lan
        Options +ExecCGI Includes
</VirtualHost>

Then try to run a CGI or SSI from that virtualhost.  Naturally, you'll have
to substitute something real in place of my local network addresses & names.
>Fix:
Fix it? No...  Workaround?  Yes:  Use a <Directory> container:

<Directory /home/staff/trev/public_html>
        Options +ExecCGI +Includes
</Directory>

I just wanna be lazy and type less ;-)
