Hi Greenlees, Thank you very much for your reply. I have given proper permissions for the directory. And one more thing, This is working fine on a Solaris Box. I am getting this problem with Linux 2.6. I have compared everything b/n the two machines. Configuration, structure everything is same.

D I'll ask it.. you did put the exe into a cgi designated folder and added a handler to the httpd.conf? by default, apache will not execute ANY file, only send it via http, you have to reduce the site security by enabling the folder(s) holding files you want executed and make sure you tell apache how to handle them.
