Hi! I have the same question, but I add some help lines for error code 500. I searched a few forums for Configuration Apache2 to run files.exe on Windows XP Home edition. I did not have user and group for error 500 ? I searched book The Complete Apache server 2.0 by Osborne Mc Graw Hill, Google, and Yahoo copy từ log/error : Example errors: When I put my file name Hello.exe in cgi-bin and open with Firefox: error 1 code 500: [2006] [error] [client 123.2.3.4] (OS 5)Access is denied. : couldn't spawn child process: C:/..../Apache2/.../cgi-bin/HELLO.EXE error 2: [ 2006] [error] [client 123.2.3.4] client denied by server configuration: C:/.../..../Apache2.2/..../favicon.ico Help lines: 1. Mod_asis: AddHandler send-as-is asis 2. Allow file to exist Outside the DocumentRoot: AliasMatch /new/_(.*) # .* for .exe .jpg .gif 3. VirtualHost name, not IP 123.2.3.4 with DocumentRoot for files.exe Please also help me on Apache2 for configure httpd.conf for shorter tests and reboots times to run hello.EXE by 2 errors above ?

Question: I see following errors in Apache (old ver 1.3) error.log: Plenty of them. Not sure why Permission Denied would be logged ? "[error] (13)Permission denied: proxy: error deleting old cache file C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/proxy/i/5/s/ouihpyc0cywdl45v325gu2c" Can you please give me some pointer what could be wrong ? From httpd.conf: --- # # Proxy Server directives. Uncomment the following lines to # enable the proxy server: # #<IfModule mod_proxy.c> <VirtualHost _default_:6800> ProxyBlock 10.10.10 ProxyRequests Off ProxyVia Off CacheRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/proxy" CacheSize 20480 CacheGcInterval 4 CacheMaxExpire 24 CacheLastModifiedFactor 0.1 CacheDefaultExpire 1 SSLEngine off RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%{SERVER_ADDR}/$1 [L,R] </VirtualHost> Thanks Vikas
