Hi! Sorry for the delays. This problem actually happens in earlier releases as well - it is expected you visit /smokeping/smokeping.cgi and not /smokeping/... Furthermore, this hardly is a release-critical bug, in my opinion, so I will downgrade this to normal. Still, it seems reasonable to have a DirectoryIndex. In our tests here (Debian stretch), it seems that just adding that line was sufficient to resolve the issue completely. This will be resolved in the next upload. Thanks for the bug report! A.
