I get an error 500 when trying to access my index.html. I found the following information in my webhost's documentation:

Q: Why can't I read files in my cgi-bin dir through the web?

A: Your cgi-bin will not send any page to web browser because it assumes that all files in cgi-bin are either script or private datafiles. In each case it assumes that you would not want a nosey user to inadvertently get the webserver to send them the contents of files in cgi-bin.

Because of this it is not possible to serve .html files from your cgi-bin dir.

Is there any fix or workaround for this? Thanks!
