Try taking the execute permissions off all of the non-CGI files. Eg. cd /home/sanscript/public_html/cricket/images/; chmod a-x *gif --Mark Mark Lavi, Enterprise Web Management Team @ SGI mailto:mlavi@xxxxxxx || phone:+1-650-933-7707 -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Truxton [mailto:struxton@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, February 23, 2007 2:28 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Help: GIFs that are in same directory as PERL script are being executed Hola! :-) Environment: Apache 1.3 running on Suse Linux 9.0. Background: - Because of my Cricket installation, I've had to put GIFs in the same directory as some perl scripts. - The perl scripts are in a user directory so I had to modify suse_public_html.conf to allow scripts to execute. Issue: - The perl scripts execute just dandy, but Apache is interpreting the GIFs in that directory as executables. At least this is how I'm interpreting the messages in error_log: "[Fri Feb 23 05:56:28 2007] [error] (8)Exec format error: exec of /home/sanscript /public_html/cricket/images/rrdtool.gif failed [Fri Feb 23 05:56:28 2007] [error] [client 10.19.83.200] Premature end of script headers: /home/sanscript/public_html/cricket/images/rrdtool.gif" Has anyone seen this before & know how to correct?
