Josh thanks for starting me off in the right
direction.I can now refine my question :-)
Im following the Apache::NavBar example in the Eagle
book.
Here is what my configuration looks like
<Directory />
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory "/usr/local/apache/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
and
<Location />
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::NavBar
PerlSetVar NavConf conf/navigation.conf
</Location>
after I add this last <Location> section to my
conf file, text, image and html content types are
handled fine (with NavBar placing a nav in my html
files), but Directory indexes become forbidden and
cgis get output as plain text. So Im guessing my
problem is more basic and related to my above
configuration.
Id like to know the generalized correct answer behind
this problem rather than binding NavBar to a more
restrive <Files "some_regex"> type of answer. i.e. Id
like to understand whats going on.
I've done a little bit of hunting in the archives,
I did try the
Options ExecCGI in the Location as per "My CGI/Perl
Code Gets Returned as Plain Text ..." in the Guide.
but I think the Directory Indexes becoming forbidden
evidences a more basic problem with my configuration
(and my lack of understanding thereof).
thanks in advance
