It kind of seems like something gone wrong.
Yup, it is intended, check the doc: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_mime.html#addhandler "Once that has been put into your httpd.conf file, any file containing the .cgi extension will be treated as a CGI program." The keyword here is "containing", not "ending with", which may be surprising, but it is so. :) -- Best regards, Luca Longinotti aka CHTEKK LongiTEKK Networks Admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gentoo Dev: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SysCP Dev: [EMAIL PROTECTED] TILUG Supporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
