My problem is that I want to execute a perl-script with the name index.pl If I type the URL f.e.: http://222.222.222.222/cgi-bin/index.pl everything is fine. But if I type http://222.222.222.222/cgi-bin/ I get the following error in the error-log. [Thu May 19 10:27:16 2005] [error] [client 222.222.222.222] attempt to invoke directory as script: /srv/www/cgi-bin/ What I have to change in the httpd.conf or in the default-server.conf ?
