Try verifying the following: - does the web server user (apache/nobody) have a shell? - can the web server user/group execute the file? (x permission) I believe this is your problem, the exec option for the apache would be useful if you need to run an executable from the apache service, not from the command line. Check out the earlier and I think you're gonna solve your issue.
