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).

I'm getting some errors that are making me nuts when I access the man pages for the cgi programs

The apache log shows this:

Options ExecCGI is off in this directory: /home/xymon/server/www/help/manpages/man1/ackinfo.cgi.1.html, referer: http://server.org/xymon/help/manpages/man1/

And of course, when I add ExecCGI I get:

Premature end of script headers: ackinfo.cgi.1.html

The server is scientific linux 6

Suggestions?
