Apparently the setting of ScritpAlias to /cgi-bin/ still allows cgi to fire there and I can run cgi there. That was never mentioned as a problem in this thread. Far as I know what you quote above is stock in the installed httpd.conf. > Oh.. and what's in these: Include /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/*.conf ? > Have you checked? It turns out that was the rub. It was not apparent to me that a virtual host was even involved. That default document appears to be about using *:80 addressing scheme which I am not. But the Directory statement in it is where things are now done. > Sorry but I wont be able to debug this for you with snippets, nor do > I really want to pour over someone else's conf file :( as that > sucks.

Sorry but as I'm sure you realize and as is always the case on usenet, no one has asked you to debug or pour over anything. Posts are put up and people can respond if they like. Inserting personal anecdotes about what you think `sucks' isn't really the point. Another common banality is RTFM from people who already understand what is in the FM. I have poured over large pieces of it and still didn't get the fact that we are now using virtual host to mean the main server running when we fire up apache. I've found it is often true that what I read in the manual at some previous time and didn't really get, suddenly takes on new or different meaning from just a comment someone makes in usenet from practicle experience. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
