Probably you had a rewrite rule that expanded your /<dad> to
/cgi-bin/wdbcgiw/<dad> ? We used this technique to shorten
paths in URLs, but it appears to be a management nightmare
because you have to add rewrite rules for each and every DAD
you configure...
By the way, what's that wdbcgiw anyway? Where it can be
found and how is it different from mod_plsql coming with
OHS?
