Very Computer

I switched to another host and when I try accessing the script with
the above method it chops off the query string and I just see:
http://domain.com/index.cgi
in the address bar of my browser.

The query string works fine when I use index.cgi?my+query+here but is
there any way I can configure apache (Perhaps in an htaccess file) to
accept:
http://domain.com/?my+query+here when I have an index.cgi?

Thank you..

Httpd.conf is well enough documented to show you the way.

Have fun!

But when you pass a query string like so
http://domain.com/?blah
It chops the query string off but brings you to
http://domain.com/index.cgi.

I want to be able to pass the query string like in the above example
and have it be usable by the CGI script.

I was one  aserver that I could do that. Now that I changed I cannot.
