>Description:
I am just playing around with a Non-IP based Apache Server 1.2.5 and
discovered the following
strange behaviour:

I had a ScriptAlias /cgu-bin/ outside the <virtualhost> statements.
Scrips could be run with
http://<domainname>/cgi-bin/script.cgi for all configured
<virtualhost>s. Then I tried to put different
/cgi-bin Aliases into each <virtualhost> enviroment The global
ScriptAlias has been removed.
>From now on Apache tried to start the script from
/usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/cgi-bin/ as the error_log show:

[Wed Feb 25 15:11:18 1998] access to
/usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/cgi-bin/test.cgi failed for saarland,
reason: File does not exist

Here is are the lines of the <virtualhost> section:


<VirtualHost epsilon.sz-sb.de>

ServerName      epsilon.sz-sb.de
DocumentRoot    /WWW/domains/epsilon/html

CustomLog       /WWW/domains/epsilon/logs/access_log "%h %l %u %t \"%r\"
%>s %b \
"%{referer}i\" \"%{user-agent}i\" %v "
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/           /WWW/domains/epsilon/cgi-bin/

</VirtualHost>

Why does not Apache recognize ScriptAlias inside this section ????

Thanks
Andreas
