Aha.... but where is this directive? If it's in another VH, or the "main config" then your directives in <VirtualHost anaconda.localhost.com:80> will never get used... Have a think about scoping and where each directive should be... I just saw your next message - (where you get it working with the static file directory).. Things to try: - move the ScriptAlias into the VH - read up on CGIs (difference between ScriptAlias and ExecCGI) - you're a bit mixed up there too...
