[Mailman-Users] MailMan with Apache: error "attempt to invoke directory as script"

[Johannes Posel]

Dear MailMan-Users,

I'm currently trying to set up MailMan. I'm stuck with this error
message:

[Tue Aug  6 22:07:58 2002] [error] [client 217.235.111.92] attempt to invoke directory as script: /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin

Yes, I checked the archives, and yes, I know it is mentionned, but the
answers there did not help me out, the problem is still present.

This is what I set in httpd.conf:

    ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/

As well as:
    
<Directory /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin>
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI
</Directory>
<Directory /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/*>
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI
</Directory>

These are the permissions:

gci:/usr/local/mailman # ls -la
