Hello, Shurely a simple thing: I have files like "the_shell_script.sh.txt" that I want Apache to just serve 'as is', i.e. dump the contents to the client as text/plain, so that he can marvel at the source code. Unfortunately, when I try to access these, I get an access error and Apache says: "Options ExecCGI is off in this directory" Well...I made damned sure it is off. It should be. How can I make Apache *not* execute the .txt file? I made sure the Unix execute bit is off. 'file' says that it is a bourne shell script, which is correct of course, as it starts with the '#!/bin/sh' shebang. Removing the shebang makes things work as expected. This is Apache/2.0.53. Interestingly, perl source is served 'as is'. Any hints?
