If I guessed correctly about what your *real* error message is, then the following is the code that is failing. This implies either the userid running apache isn't what you think it is, or the permissions are not correct. API_EXPORT(int) ap_can_exec(const struct stat *finfo) { #ifdef MULTIPLE_GROUPS int cnt; #endif #if defined(OS2) || defined(WIN32) || defined(NETWARE) /* OS/2 dosen't have Users and Groups */ return 1; #else if (ap_user_id == finfo->st_uid) if (finfo->st_mode & S_IXUSR) return 1; if (ap_group_id == finfo->st_gid) if (finfo->st_mode & S_IXGRP) return 1; #ifdef MULTIPLE_GROUPS for (cnt = 0; cnt < NGROUPS_MAX; cnt++) { if (group_id_list[cnt] == finfo->st_gid) if (finfo->st_mode & S_IXGRP) return 1; } #endif return ((finfo->st_mode & S_IXOTH) != 0); #endif } --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
