binary cgi mess

I have a mod_perl server and I need to add a cgi application
outside mod_perl, nagios.

I followed the guide and when I try to use the cgis, the
binary files are downloaded instead of executed.
I tried the same in another apache server without Mason
and it worked well. So I think something of my config must
be messing it.

I made sure the mason handler wasn't in the middle. I added
a debugging line in the very beginning of it.

Here is the nagios config for apache:

AddType application/x-httpd-cgi .cgi
ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/nagios/cgi/

<Location /nagios/cgi-bin>
         Options ExecCGI
</Location>

<Directory /usr/lib/nagios/cgi/>
    AllowOverride AuthConfig
    Options ExecCGI
    order deny,allow
    deny from all
    allow from ip_removed
</Directory>

Alias /nagios/ /usr/share/nagios/
<Directory /usr/share/nagios/>
    AllowOverride AuthConfig
    Options None
    order deny,allow
    deny from all
    allow from ip_removed
</Directory>
use Apache::AuthDBI;

any hints ? Thank you for your time.

Well, thank you for trying. I replaced the line:

   AddType application/x-httpd-cgi .cgi

for the one you told me, now the binary file isn't
displayed in the browser, but it prompts me to download
it. So it isn't executed in the server.

I also tried to have both lines with the same results.

Hi,

Shouldn't it be

	AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
