Thank you Boris
After reading your files I changed the httpd.conf to follow your format but it
still did not work :-(.
Here are my entries:
# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#
<Directory "/usr_www/virtualwebs/vizion2000.net">
#
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
# Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI
MultiViews
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options
# for more information.
#
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride None
#
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
#
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /mailman " /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin"
<Directory "/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/">
Options ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Alias /pipermail "/usr/local/mailman/archives/public"
<Directory "/usr/local/mailman/archives/public/">
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Options Indexes MultiViews
AddDefaultCharset Off
DirectoryIndex index.html
</Directory>

Seems I am struggling with this.
Thanks again for all your help. Lets hope I can someone can spot something
soon. These things are usually caused by a daft error on my part!!
