Is there another VH container that could be allowing access via a ScriptAlias or something? There is no other virtual host.

NB - it's a bad idea to put a FQDN in a VH, it's better to use an IP address (with an FQDN, apache needs functinal DNS to start. And it's slower). I have just hide the original domain name due to security issues > I have a ScriptAlias directive like this : ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/localhost/cgi-bin/ When I commented it then another error occured "404 Not Found" if this directive is uncommented then again it doesn't ask for authentication. regards Manilal
