Okay, so .. I made a little test. In the same directory with my cgi script I write a .htaccess file containig this: Allow from all Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ nph-main.cgi?lid=$1&header=%{HTTP:Range} The problem now is that when I call the script like this: http://web.devel/cgi-bin/rs/24333/ the browser says: Not Found The requested URL /var/www/cgi-bin/rs/nph-main.cgi was not found on this server which I find very strange because the script is there. Another thing I noticed is that apache logs this error: [Tue Apr 07 00:59:08 2009] [error] [client 192.168.18.1] File does not exist: /var/www/html/var Any hints what could it be ?
