This will not work as you are trying to link a static page to a cgi script. The link is fine but Apache cannot interpret this as you want. Asdsuming you have mod_rewrite installed, the following Apache re-write rules will work to "transparently" redirect the URI '/' and '/index.html' to the cgi-script RewriteRule ^/$ /mailman/listinfo [PT] RewriteRule ^/index.html$ /mailman/listinfo [PT] Whether you will get any knock-on problems with the browser interpreting relative links on the pages returned incorrectly is another issue. If that happens your may want to use the rewrite rules to redirect / and /index.html: RewriteRule ^/$ /mailman/listinfo [R,L] RewriteRule ^/index.html$ /mailman/listinfo [R,L] >but I get a Mailman CGI error page when I browse my server. > >If I access ><http://my.server.org/mailman/listinfo>http://my.server.org/mailman/listinfo >directly it works fine. > >I know it is something real simple and obvious but I can't seem to think >strait today. > >Thanks > >MGL >-- >Maurice G.
