Why don't you do

ScriptAlias /abc /var/www/abc/cgi-bin/abc.cgi

?

Because I didn't know you could do that. I thought aliases had to  

point to directories :) Knew it would be something simple :-P

I'm sure this one is really simple, but I don't know what I am  

doing wrong.

I have the following config block in my httpd.conf file:
ScriptAlias /abc /var/www/abc/cgi-bin
<Directory /var/www/abc/cgi-bin>
        Options +ExecCGI
        allow from all
        directoryindex abc.cgi
</Directory>

if I go to http://<myserver>/abc/abc.cgi, it works fine. However,  

if I just

go to http://<myserver>/abc, I get a "Forbidden" message. The error  

log

shows "attempt to invoke directory as script: /var/www/abc/cgi- 

bin". I want

to be able to just type http://<myserver>/abc to get to the script.  

What am

I missing here? Thanks.
