I guess your directory is physically not under a directory named WWW, which means there is no template for your sub-directories, which in turn means that the content may be indexed funnliy. Two "work-arounds": - Create a directory template matching the name of the external directory, and make it look like the WWW directory template - Wait for next release, which will allow you to attach a specific indexer to a directory resource (this should be really fancy, and among other things will allow you to emulate cgi-bin directories) Anselm.
