Apache 2.2 - Change in default behavior when a .exe file is clicked

[Robert Gann <gannr@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Title: Robert Gann, Ph

I hope this is not a FAQ, but I've searched and been unable to find an answer.

I've just migrated to Fedora Linux 7, with Apache 2.2.  When I connect to Apache with a Win XP computer using Mozilla Firefox, if I click on a .zip file, I am offered the option to download it.  However, if I click on a .exe file, I get an Internal Server Error 500.  In Fedora Linux 6, using the same configuration on the Windows computer, clicking on both the .zip and .exe files brought up a dialog box where they could be downloaded.

I assume that some default configuration has changed, but have not been able to ascertain what it might be.

Thanks for any help you are able to render.  I really appreciate it.
