New page:
= Attempt to invoke directory as script =

This occurs when Apache is configured with !ScriptAlias or !SetHandler and a 
request is made for a directory path. The problem is that under those 
circumstances, all resources under a certain path are considered to be 
executable.

To get around this and allow !DirectoryIndex to work again, use !AddHandler 
with Options ExecCGI, or !SetHandler in a <Files> stanza.

For example, replace this:
{{{
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /var/www/cgi-bin
}}}
with this:
{{{
Alias /cgi-bin /var/www/cgi-bin
<Directory /var/www/cgi-bin>
 AddHandler cgi-script cgi pl
 Options ExecCGI
</Directory>
}}}
