You need to tell apache which file to serve as a directory index: DirectoryIndex index.pl http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_dir.html#directoryindex And also you need to enable scripts, I'd use a <Directory> directive something like this if I were you: DocumentRoot /var/www/html <Directory /var/www/html> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI Indexes DirectoryIndex index.pl Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> Chris -- Chris Croome <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> web design http://www.webarchitects.co.uk/ web content management http://mkdoc.com/
