Hi and thanks for your reply.
I kind of solved the problem although now I'm facing
a new and rather ugly one. But anyway what I did was
setting a ScriptAlias for my cgi-ca directory (which
is not under my document root but rather in the
/usr/lib/cgi-bin/cgi-ca) I then I found out that the
script produced an error due to a misconfigured mysql
server. That was probably the root of all my problems
- i seems like a cgi is not executed at all when it
produces an unrecoverable error.
Thanks for your help anyway,
chris
