The problem is that mod_index is responsible for changing requests to / to /index.html. This does not work if Embperl gets the request before mod_index. So this can be changed either by the load order of the modules or, even more simple, by placeing the Embperl directives inside a <file> block, like <Files *.html> PerlHandler Embperl </Files> This makes sure Embperl gets only the html files and not the requests to a directory, which mod_index can then transform correctly Gerald ** Virus checked by BB-5000 Mailfilter ** --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
