Topic: How to run executive file exe on Apache2?

[Cle]

Hi,

I am a new member and using Apache2 and Windows XP Home edition to run an executive file named Benefits.exe,

I compiled it from Microsoft Visual C++, computer class edition.

Please show me the right way to configure directive or option to run a file with extension .exe.

At this time, Apache2 only opened a window and asked me to save file Benefits.exe, look like when I down load it from internet, but not to run it.

I don't have error from log, but I have log/access:
127.0.0.1 - - [12/Dec/2006:13:45:10 -0600] "GET /cgi-bin/Benefits.EXE HTTP/1.1" 200 658

The perfect access code would be: 200 297 for the good hello4.cgi file which I am running OK.

I have a portion of this httpd.conf:

LoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.so

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/cgi-bin/"

<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AddHandler cgi-script .exe
</Directory>

Thank you for great help

can can't run an exe directly.
You need a cgi file that calls the exectuble. Every thing i nthe file goes to the programs stdin and apache serves what comes out of stdout.
