Shire folk:
I just upgraded to v4.2 on a Solaris server. I am using the built-in Apache (with Solaris 8).
When I try to access any of the Hobbit man pages that refer to a CGI (and are named <something>.cgi.<n>.html) I get an "Access Forbidden" error. I looked in the Apache error log and saw this:
Options ExecCGI is off in this directory: /opt2/hobbit/server/www/help/manpages/man1/hobbitsvc.cgi.1.html
So Apache is getting confused by the file name? I've tried a few things to try to convince Apache that this is a text file and not a CGI, but to no avail. Anyone else ever run into this and have a solution? One obvious thing to try would be to add ExecCGI to these directories, but that doesn't feel right to me...

I don't want to sound like an old "RTFM", but:

Yep, missed that one. I thought I came up with that on my own and tried it, but perhaps I dreamed all that. Apache has its own learning curve, which I have been avoiding.
