There seems to be some magic that goes on behind the scenes, and perhaps
someone can shed some light. We have a php script that works with the pertinent Apache configuration directives being:


ScriptAlias /php/ "/usr/local/bin/"
<Location ~ /php>
Options -Indexes
</Location>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php"


Though I don't believe the Location directive does anything other
than restrict auto-indexing.

With the above directives a .php file is read and processed by PHP, even though there is nothing in the url with php in the path, just /some/dir/phpinfo.php works! That to me is magic, as I would think the /php/ directory would be what tells apache to go to /usr/local/bin/php.

anyways, I'm trying to do the same thing with eruby ( actually erb )
and can't seem to get it to work


ScriptAlias /erb/ "/usr/local/bin/"
AddType application/x-httpd-eruby .rhtml
Action application/x-httpd-eruby /erb/erb


And I'm asked if I want to download the file.  and in looking, that file is the 
html for a 500
internal server error

I do have application/x-httpd-eruby rhtml
in mime types, but I think that's only used if I don't add the AddType in the 
conf file.

Any help clarifying what's going on would be appreciated.

Thanx!
