Dear all,
I am absolutely new to Apache, so please bear with this novice question
When I try to access a CGI application using:
http://202.163.96.3/ccmail/cgipipe.exe?welcome,
instead of opening the application in browser, it goes into file
download/open dialog. Apparently Apache don't recognize this as CGI. Apache
ver 2 is running on Win XP Pro.
What should I do to execute this CGI application?
I will be really grateful for your help.
Regards

Does the file absolutely have to be a binary executable? If not, try
running the .cgi or .pl file it was made from (you'll need Perl (and
mod_perl I believe) installed).
