In the config file, there is a line with DirectoryIndex, and you need to add the filename you want to use (index.cgi?) to it. Mine looks like this. DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.cgi The .php extension is bound to PHP, so apache knows what to do, you need to do something similar for the .cgi extension, and then put index.cgi first in the list, and then everything should work. I believe you need an AddHandler for the .cgi extension, but its been a while. -kevin -- Kevin Falcone <kevinfal@seas.upenn.edu> "The gene pool could use a little chlorine" _______________________________________________ Plug maillist - Plug@lists.nothinbut.net http://lists.nothinbut.net/mail/listinfo/plug
