HI:
Env: I use an C-based executable as my CGI app under my Apache 2.2.22 Server package on my Home Server.
Also, I use the 'Virtual Host' method for getting requests and serving pages to my four sites.
Things have gone great for the past two years. But these past few dayts, I decided to show a 'FAQ' page as a clickable option on my main page. I keep this FAQ.HTM page in a sub-dir under Apache. And I wish to use the window.open() method to show this new FAQ page
I have succeeded in getting the FAQ page to be *sent* to the Client's Browser (i.e., to *me* as a test now).
Problem: I 'see' the FAQ' page being requested, but it fails to display. I reviewed the access.log and found the lines below
The relevant lines (with dates / times remover)
of the access.log are shown below:
Question: Why does Apache assume that the notready.htm file is an *executable* ? Because is a normal .html-styled page ! I must assume that because of the virtual host method show below, that Apache wants to assume it is an executable and fails.
Any advice please ?
Thank you.

As far as I am aware, anything placed in /cgi-bin/ needs to be an executable file.

Hi:
Somehow :)) it is now working.
I moved the .htm file to a the sub-dir:
...\cgi-bin\XXX\FILES\FAQ.HTM
and it is now accessible directly from the browser without intervention by my CGI app.
Here is the Javascript open window now:
var faqwin = window.open('http://ww2.whosaway.net:4297/files/faq.htm','faq',
'menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,left=20,top=220,height=300,width=250') ;
//faqwin.title = 'The FAQ Sheet' ;
Thanks for helping.
(Now I've got to learn to use it properly ! )

Doesn't this fall under the head of "... but only what I tell it"? ;)
| Any file that has the handler cgi-script will be treated as a CGI script <snip> Files acquire this handler either by having a name containing an extension defined by the AddHandler directive, or by being in a ScriptAlias directory. |
