Yeah, maybe, except it's how apache does multi-language page support i.e:

help.fr.html
help.en.html
help.cn.html

etc

Glad you figured it out.

Given that the file name has "cgi.1.html", I'd consider the handling as a multi-extension to be a bug.

I didn't find the problem directive, BUT I did find that apache 2 interprets files like these as multi extension files (i.e. both cgi AND html are extensions, cgi being found first)

SO I added the following to the bottom of xymon-apache.conf:

<FilesMatch \.html>
   SetHandler text/html
</FilesMatch>

forcing the html man pages to html

I'd look through the Apache configs for a regex that matches the folder (or objects with ".cgi"), probably in a ScriptAliasMatch or LocationMatch directive (although there are a number of other candidates). On 2016-05-18 3:35, Bruce Ferrell wrote:
