Israel,

Use mod_rewrite to redirect requests to a directory to the url of the cgi
page, including any URL variables that you want.

I was hoping to avoid that solution. My experiences with mod_rewrite have been, shall we say, somewhat less than pleasant :) Oh well, It'll work. Thanks!

I have a .cgi script that I would like to use as the DirectoryIndex
for a location on my web server, preferably with the trailing ?abc=
argument attached (although without would work too). I thought I might
just be able to put the .cgi file as the DirectoryIndex directive for
the directory, but that didn't work, failing with an "attempt to
invoke directory as script" error. So what would be the easiest way to
make this work? I don't need to hide the .cgi path/arguments from the
end user or anything, i'd just like to be able to simply type
www.myserver.com/abc
 and have the cgi
(www.myserver.com/abc/somescript.cgi?someargument=somevalue)
 load. Thanks.
