[users@httpd] Apache CGI-Bin issues with .exe files

[Nathan Metcalf <na...@weatherbeeta.com.au>]

Hello everyone,

I am having some issues getting an .exe file to execute and not be prompted
to download.

I have put it in my cgi-bin directory. Here is the relevant parts of my
config file:

 

 

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/www_data/cgi-bin/"

 

</IfModule>

 

#

# "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/cgi-bin" should be
changed to whatever your ScriptAliased

# CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.

#

<Directory "C:/www_data/cgi-bin">

    AllowOverride None

    Options None

    Order allow,deny

    Allow from all

</Directory>

 

Can someone please give me some help?

Thanks,

Nathan Metcalf

This may be overriding the ScriptAlias stuff. Try changing it to  "+ExecCGI" 
instead of "None"
