Directory Autoindexing - /cgi-bin

LoadModule cgi_module lib/httpd/mod_cgi.so

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /var/www/cgi-bin

<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
Options Indexes
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

From what I understand from the docs, I should get an auto index under
virtual path /cgi-bin . Instead I get a 403 Forbidden.

The directory /var/www/cgi-bin is world readable and the scripts under
it world executable - If I point it to /cgi-bin/script.cgi it executes
the script and throws me the output as expected. The only thing I don't
get is an auto index.

Makes me wonder if ScriptAliasing somehow disables autoindexing.

Any ideas guys?

Yes it does. Since the ScriptAlias directive has the side effect
of making Apache considering everything that stand in the pointed
directory as a CGI script to execute, so that effectively prevent
the creation of a directory listing.
