[users@httpd] Apache not allowing .exes?
I copied a file with a .exe extension to the DocumentRoot ( RHEL5.2,
httpd-2.2.10-1 ) It has 664 permissions. When I try to access it with
a browser, I get:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /file.exe on this server.
The error log says:
[Thu Apr 02 22:45:57 2009] [error] [client 192.168.61.83] (13)Permission
denied: access to /file.exe denied
Not too helpful. I looked for "exe" in httpd.conf and
/etc/httpd/conf.d/* to no avail. I created a test.txt file with the
same permissions in the same directory and can see that in my browser.
What gives?

In this case It's not the apache configuration, but the system itself.

Check SELinux setup ?

Does the webserver user have permission? *Who* (user/group) has
control of the file?
