Hi List,

I am thankfull to u all who helped me out in suggesting me to setup the  url 
Look . But I have tried all the options suggested by u all .

cgi-bin directory.

But Still I am working on it. Once again I  thank  U all for ur valuable 
opinions.

Does this work? I don't think it should, for having no SCRIPT_NAME
component should stop IC in its tracks.

If you can get it to work, perhaps this is better:

ScriptAliasMatch ^/([^.]+)$      /usr/lib/cgi-bin/yourstore
ScriptAliasMatch ^/(.+\.html)$   /usr/lib/cgi-bin/yourstore

That will allow you to serve other types of content (like images) without
processing by IC.

I got a bit interested in this and verified it won't work. Then I added
this to the top of Vend::Server::map_misc_cgi:

        if($Global::Variable->{SCRIPT_REPLACE}) {
                $CGI::path_info = "$CGI::script_name$CGI::path_info";
                $CGI::script_name = $Global::Variable->{SCRIPT_REPLACE};
        }

Then when I went to these settings in interchange.cfg:

    FullURL  yes
    Catalog  found  /work/interchange/catalogs/found sam.heins.net/store
    Variable SCRIPT_REPLACE /store

I of course had to change the CGI_URL to blank (making VendURL be 
http://sam.heins.net).

Then it worked, and the images came through.
