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=20
- read up on CGIs (difference between ScriptAlias and ExecCGI) - you're =
a bit mixed up there too...

Rgds,
