Virtual host setup < cgi script

Question

The issue

I'm writing a cgi script in c++. All works well as long as I go in to the precise url: http://localhost:90/joppli.bot

Now I'm trying to make a simple redirect to from everything to my cgi script. eg:

http://localhost:90/
http://localhost:90/foo
http://localhost:90/foo/bar

...should all render the same content as entering http://localhost:90/joppli.bot

Thanks to Justin Iurman Who wrote the following as a comment, witch solved most of it:

In <Directory "/var/www/joppli-bot"> block, replace AllowOverride None by AllowOverride All (otherwise your htaccess is disabled)

I also added DirectoryIndex joppli.bot at the bottom of my .htaccess file to route all trafic from root directory to the script as well..
