[users@httpd] cannot run exe on apache2
I have written a c program :
/******************************/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
void main()
{
printf("Content-Type: text/html\n\n");
printf("<html>\n");
printf("<head>\n");
printf(" <title>Hello World</title>\n");
printf("</head>\n");
printf("<body>\n");
printf(" <h1>Hello World!</h1>\n");
printf(" cgi rulez!\n");
printf("</body>\n");
printf("</html>\n");
}
/***************************/
I compiled it and made an exe called test.exe
I placed it in the cgi-bin folder of apache 1.3.19 and
http://localhost/cgi-bin/test.exe shows the output
However on another system using apache 2.0.43 when I placed test.exe in its
cgi-bin folder , http://localhost/cgi-bin/printenv.pl works but
http://localhost/cgi-bin/test.exe always shows Internal error in the browser
and "[Fri Dec 06 05:30:11 2002] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (720005)Access is
denied. : couldn't spawn child process: C:/Program Files/Apache
Group/Apache2/cgi-bin/test.exe" error in the error log
I am using winxp, and fat32 so no question of permissions
would appreciate any help
thanx

shouldn't you add Options ExecCGI to the cgi directory?

zac , you are you using apache 2.0.43 ?
I mean just look at the code
/*test.c*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
void main()
{
printf("Content-Type: text/html\n\n");
printf("<html>\n");
printf("<head>\n");
printf(" <title>Hello World</title>\n");
printf("</head>\n");
printf("<body>\n");
printf(" <h1>Hello World!</h1>\n");
printf(" cgi rulez!\n");
printf("</body>\n");
printf("</html>\n");
}
it is a simple hello world program
and runs on apache 1.3.19 and 1.3.27 on the same machine
http://localhost/cgi-bin/test.exe
what am i doing wrong ??

This isn't quite correct - the aforementioned link is for a C
CGI-programming library, however this (like the Perl CGI module) merely
provides ways to interact with form data and the like. It certainly is not
*required* for writing a CGI program in C.
The OP's code is really just a C implementation of the canonical CGI - HTTP
headers & a "Hello World" response - and should be working fine, as long as
it is being invoked in accordance with Apache's configuration.
HTH,
Zac

have you given apache the data it needs to parse an exe?
from the apache 2 docs on apache.org:
If you're writing CGI programs in C, there are a variety of options.
One of these is the CGIC library, from http://www.boutell.com/cgic/
if you have not included a library for apache to understand the file,
then it won't work.
if you put your httpd.conf up then it makes it easier to see what might
be causing the problem.

greenlees : is the second machine apache configured to run .exe as cgi?

gaurav : how do I do that ? , I have placed the test.exe in cgi-bin folder ,
I used ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Program Files/Apache
Group/Apache2/cgi-bin/"
<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
I even tried AddHandler cgi-script .exe .pl
In fact I have the printenv.pl in this cgi-bin directory and
http://localhost/cgi-bin/printenv.pl works just fine ( I had to change the
first line to point to the actual location of perl.exe)
I am having this problem on apache 2.0.43 , I tried out
http://localhost/cgi-bin/test.exe on apache 1.3.19 and 1.3.27 and it worked.
what am I doing wrong ??

looks like it's not set up to run your exe as a cgi.
