How do you request it? If you access it as a file, you're just using your browser as a directory-browser and so bypassing apache. To get apache to fetch the file you need to use HTTP so you should request: http://your-server/cgi-bin/program-name > When > I configure cgi execution for a certain directory this has > nothing to do > with my scriptalias or does it? Oh yes it does! The ScriptAlias tells apache that the directory contains executables and so it will *only* execute files found there and *never* display them. So you absolutely need: ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ C:/apache/htdocs/test/cgi-bin/ If you just have one program in a directory which also has static content, you can define it as executable using the ExecCGI/AddHandler method but that's not what you've got, I think.
