ScriptAlias and Alias both map an arbitrary directory (not necessarily under the docroot) onto a URL. - ScriptAlias tells apache that a directory contains cgi-programs so if a user requests a file in that dir, apache should try to execute it. - Alias tells apache that a directory contains plain files so if a user requests a file in that dir, apache should just send it. You seem to want to do both: Browse the files (a la Alias) but then execute them by clicking (a la ScriptAlias). That's impossible using just alias directives. Whenever you encounter somehting that's impossible, it's usually time to look at mod_rewrite. This scheme might just work (I haven't tried it): First of all, use two different aliases to the same dir, eg: ScriptAlias /cgi /path/to/dir Alias /dir /path/to/dir Then if you do http://server/dir/, you will get a listing of /path/to/dir, but if you do http://server/cgi/prog it will execute /path/to/dir/prog. If that works, then you could make a rewrite so that clicking on a filename in the listing, executes the program, ie: - suppose you do http://server/dir/ and get a listing. - then you click on "prog" - this requests http://server/dir/prog which accesses /path/to/dir/prog as a plain file If you then have: RewriteRule ^/dir/(.*)$ /cgi/$1 that should rewrite the request to http://server/cgi/prog which should do what you want... I'd be intrigued to learn if this wacky scheme actually works :-) Rgds, Owen Boyle Disclaimer: Any disclaimer attached to this message may be ignored. > > Thanks, > Osvaldo > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Boyle Owen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, March 27, 2006 12:30 AM > To: users@httpd.apache.org > Subject: RE: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Help needed > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Marin Angulo, Osvaldo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Freitag, 24.
