Miguel, The script is Perl and the Apache server is running on an SGI IRIX system. Here is a fuller extract from the access.log and error.log files when I access the site using Safari (the same thing occurs with Camino, I haven't tried Mozilla or IE yet): When using the perl CGI script (which gives the error): >From access.log: [02/Jan/2004:18:20:29 -0500] "GET /web-cgi-bin/JmolApplet.jar HTTP/1.1" 500 614 [02/Jan/2004:18:20:29 -0500] "GET /web-cgi-bin/JmolApplet.jar HTTP/1.1" 500 614 [02/Jan/2004:18:20:30 -0500] "GET /web-cgi-bin/JmolApplet.class HTTP/1.1" 404 308 [02/Jan/2004:18:20:30 -0500] "GET /web-cgi-bin/JmolApplet.class HTTP/1.1" 404 308 [02/Jan/2004:18:20:31 -0500] "GET /web-cgi-bin/JmolApplet.class HTTP/1.1" 404 308 [02/Jan/2004:18:20:31 -0500] "GET /web-cgi-bin/JmolApplet.class HTTP/1.1" 404 308 >From error.log [Fri Jan 2 18:20:29 2004] [error] (8)Exec format error: exec of /usr/people/web/web-cgi-bin/JmolApplet.jar failed [Fri Jan 2 18:20:29 2004] [error] [client 54.3.186.14] Premature end of script headers: /usr2/people/web/web-cgi-bin/JmolApplet.jar [Fri Jan 2 18:20:29 2004] [error] (8)Exec format error: exec of /usr/people/web/web-cgi-bin/JmolApplet.jar failed [Fri Jan 2 18:20:29 2004] [error] [client 54.3.186.14] Premature end of script headers: /usr2/people/web/web-cgi-bin/JmolApplet.jar [Fri Jan 2 18:20:30 2004] [error] [client 54.3.186.14] script not found or unable to stat: /usr/people/web/web-cgi-bin/JmolApplet.class [Fri Jan 2 18:20:30 2004] [error] [client 54.3.186.14] script not found or unable to stat: /usr/people/web/web-cgi-bin/JmolApplet.class [Fri Jan 2 18:20:31 2004] [error] [client 54.3.186.14] script not found or unable to stat: /usr/people/web/web-cgi-bin/JmolApplet.class [Fri Jan 2 18:20:31 2004] [error] [client 54.3.186.14] script not found or unable to stat: /usr/people/web/web-cgi-bin/JmolApplet.class Using the static page: access.log: [02/Jan/2004:18:26:55 -0500] "GET /~web/JmolApplet.properties HTTP/1.1" 404 309 [02/Jan/2004:18:26:56 -0500] "GET /~web/glak098a.pdb HTTP/1.1" 200 3185 error.log: [Fri Jan 2 18:26:55 2004] [error] File does not exist: /usr/people/web/public_html/JmolApplet.properties note that JmolApplet.jar exists in both /web/public_html/ and in /web/web-cgi-bin/ and I've even given it 755 persmissions. My assumption at this point is this is happening because the "user" is "http" for the script-generated page rather than user "~web" for the static page, but I haven't any idea as to how to make it work :-( Rich ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
