awstats returns 500 internal server error only for html files

Hi guys,
I've installed awstats on centos. I can visit http://www.mysite.com/awstats/awstats.pl?config=mysite with no problem, but when I visit the static html there, it returns 500 internal server error, for example:
1)generate static html file:
perl ./awstats.pl -config=mysite -output -staticlinks > awstats.mysite.html
2)http://www.mysite.com/awstats/awstats.mysite.html returns 500 internal server error.

Here's the configuration file:

Quote:

Alias /awstats/icon/ /var/www/awstats/icon/

ScriptAlias /awstats/ /var/www/awstats/
<Directory /var/www/awstats/>
AllowOverride All
# DirectoryIndex awstats.pl
Options +ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
# Deny from all
# Allow from 127.0.0.1
Allow from all
</Directory>

#Alias /css/ /var/www/awstats/css/
#Alias /js/ /var/www/awstats/js/

Can anyone help on this please?

ok guys, I found the answer to this problem.
from http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod...ml#scriptalias we know that with ScriptAlias, request will be treated as CGI scripts. So when visit the html file which contains no CGI script, 500 internal server error occurs later.
Here's the working configuration:

Quote:

Alias /awstats/icon/ /var/www/awstats/icon/
Alias /awstats/ /var/www/awstats/
ScriptAlias /awstats/ /var/www/awstats/
<Directory /var/www/awstats/>
AllowOverride All
DirectoryIndex awstats.pl
Options +ExecCGI +Indexes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
#Alias /css/ /var/www/awstats/css/
#Alias /js/ /var/www/awstats/js/

After this, we can visit that html file and it's 200 ok now.
