(SOLVED)Re: Enabling the search engine on a mirrored SxS site (was Re: KurtWerks site bug)

[Tim Wunder]

Well, it turns out that I specified the ScriptAlias wrong.
I also needed a Directory listing that enabled cgi-scripting, 
<Directory "/<path to SxS>/cgi-bin">
  AllowOverride None
  Options ExecCGI
  SetHandler cgi-script
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</Directory>

So, it works now. WooHoo!
Thanks, 
Tim
