Hi,
I have a problem with apache and mod_perl;
The cgi-bin directory has many perl files in it. All execute except index.pl which produces the browser Save As dialog. The content of the file saved is the content of index.pl (not something else).
However, if I rename the file to something other than index.pl (e.g.
index1.pl), it executes as it should.
this definitely sounds like a mod_autoindex issue
I've removed any DirectoryIndex directives.
try
Options +ExecCGI -Indexes
or just
Options ExecCGI
don't forget to restart apache so the configuration changes are applied :)
if that doesn't work, I'm out of ideas, save issuing a direct telnet request to your server to see what is actually coming off the wire. something like this should do the trick:
$ telnet server.example.com 80 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to server.example.com (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. GET /index.pl HTTP/1.1 Host: server.example.com
the last two lines are the ones you type, followed by two newlines.

Geoff,
Thanks for your response.
I've checked the Indexes option (Options +ExecCGI -Indexes) but it seems to have no effect.
I've also removed all reference to mod_autoindex and again, the problem persists.
