Krishna,
It sounds like you don't have Apache setup to execute files in the
directory where mapserv.exe is located, so it is trying to make you
download it by default. Usually you would place the exe in your
cgi-bin directory, because it is already setup to execute files. Or you
can configure Apache to execute files that are in the directory where
you currently have mapserv. Find your config.conf file (Apache config
file, usually in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf for Linux) and modify it so
that it executes files in that directory. The Apache documentation will
show you how. You also want to make sure the file has execute
permissions on it if you are in a Linux environment. But as I
mentioned, the easiest way is probably just to put the mapserv file in
your cgi-bin and try it from there.

Hello, i have a question about mapserver.exe as a cgi process.
I was succesfull in compiling mapserver and now my mapscript is also
working. But i want to generate a map using mapserv.exe but not through
phpmapscript. So i wrote a small html file which gives as input the mapfile
to mapserv.exe. But when i call in from my local host instead to executing
the mapserv.exe program a small dialouge box opened and it asks me to save
mapserv.exe. I dont know the reason for this problem but i guess it could
be a problem with permissions in Apache. I do not know how to set the
permissions in Apache.
Any lead please ........
