Re: Apache 2.2 - Change in default behavior when a .exe file is clicked
[In reply to]

The apache error log has the phrase "URL file extension is restricted by policy".
The only two AddHandler statements I have in httpd.conf are
AddHandler send-as-is asis
AddHandler type-map var
And one that appears in the middle of a
<IfModule mod-include.c>
<Directory "/var/www/erro">

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. Start by looking in the apache error log to see what is causing the 500 error. Likely the file is being treated as a CGI script because of a misplaced AddHandler directive. Joshua.
