Hi, In migrating from Apache 1 that was included with Caldera eW3.x
to Apache 2 provided by Red Hat 8 (version 2.0.40), I've gotten
pretty much everything to work OK. Except for the following:

- I can't seem to get Apache to to load one of the files listed by
the DirectoryIndex line for a directory other than the directory
root (and users' public_html directories). I'm apparently missing
something obvious, but it's eluding me... For example, I've got a
web-based calendar on my webserver (Webcal), and have an aliased
directory /calendar that calls up the /cgi-bin/webcal directory and
I have the following entries in my httpd.conf file:

DirectoryIndex index.html webcal.cgi index.html.var index.cgi
main.htm

But when I try to access <URL>/calendar, I get an access denied
error. If I add webcal.cgi at the end, it loads. Permissions on the
calendar directory are 755 I've asked on IRC (#apache) and the
guy/gal there couldn't figer out why it wouldn't work. Anybody
wanna make a suggestion? I'm stumped :-(

httpd.conf file available upon request...


Are you sure that you're modifying the correct DirectoryIndex?? Check
 all the <Directory*> sections and look for possible overrides.

Yes. I had originally listed the DirectoryIndex without reference to a particular <Directory *>, but subsequently added "DirectoryIndex webcal.cgi" inside the <Directory "/home/httpd//cgi-bin/webcal">...<Directory> section. Still no go.

Remember that options apply for the specified directory and all
below, and maybe your cgi-bin somewhere else and not included in your
modified config.

cgi-bin works. When I specify the webcal.cgi file with the URL, the calendar works as expected.

Besides that, are you sure that DirectoryIndex applies to cgi directories??

This I'm not sure about. I *am* sure that the settings for DirectoryIndex and the cgi-bin directories are what was working with Apache 1.3x and won't work with Apache 2.0.x.
