I don't think index.html was changed, but I only took a quick look. I have it backed up in a tgz file, so when the Linux box comes back up (maybe tomorrow), I'll take a closer look It is also possible that there was something wrong with httpd.config . It is quite complex, with numerous RewriteRul

Was the index.html file modified in anyway? Did it call the executable? Any rewrites or any other files added to the path index.html resided? Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 4, 2016, at 8:21 PM, Michael D. Berger wrote: > > It was not overwritten. If you looked on the server, it was just fine.

It was not overwritten. If you looked on the server, it was just fine. But an executable was delivered instead. In any case, it is gone with the wind -- DBAN is now running on the server. Hopefully, the reinstallation will work better. Mike. -- Michael D. Berger m.d.ber...@ieee.org http://www

I tried the submission you suggest. It said it is an executable file, suitable for my Linux box. I don't think I am about to run it. Note that my ESET NOD32 virus software finds nothing wrong with it. Thanks, Mike. -- Michael D. Berger m.d.ber...@ieee.org http://www.rosemike.net/ > -Ori

Following your suggestion, I made use of my daily backups to install the httpd.conf from two days ago, when all was well. The problem was the same. I tried sublitting a file to sophos, but I would have to join, and I am not ready for that. See also my next email. Still heading toward DBAN. Than

Hi Mike. You might like to send this to sophos for analysis: https://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/11490.aspx As index.html is the default page if nothing else is configured, has your httpd.conf file been modified to server this binary file instead of index.html? HTH, Keith Rober

If the file begins "MZ" (the MS-DOS stub found at the start of Windows executables) then it's very likely to be a Windows program intended for execution, which would be bad news. It's interesting that you say "index.html" -- does this server serve all static pages, or does index.html reference
