Topic: browser tries to download .exe instead of running as CGI

[DocDJ]

I have 2 windows .exe files in the same folder on my 2 servers. For several years, they both worked. Now ONE of the .EXE's tries to download onto the user's machine. NEITHER was recompiled. I am running Apache 2.2.16 + Windows 7-64 on 1 machine & Apache 2.2.15+Win 7-32 on the other (both have the problem). Server .conf files are identical, except for folder names (since the 32-bit machine is on a domain). No errors in the logs (return code 200 on my Form POST request). Permissions for the 2 files are identical. Programs us e the SAME DLLs, both written in C++ (without any objects).

After searching the literature and findig no help, I recompiled the failing program (MS VC 2008) and it still fails. The other one still runs properly. Here is my http.conf entry:
<Directory "E:/DJs Documents/public_html/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride
Options FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
IndexIgnore ..
<Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Limit>
<LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</LimitExcept>
</Directory>

and I have:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "E:/DJs Documents/public_html/cgi-bin/"

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Problem solved: re-compiled application on both sites, upgraded to 2.2.16 on both sites, added .exe to addhandler for scripts (was missing on one site).
