Hi,

It's your CGI executable by the Apache server?

Check the log file of the Apache, you'll find the error there.

    Hi yes is apache 1.3 these is the error message that is saying :
    [Wed Dec 26 10:28:05 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] ReadFile(c:/orac +le/ora92/apache/apache/cgi-bin/35854785.err) failed [Wed Dec 26 10:28:05 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] c:/oracle/ora92/ +apache/apache/cgi-bin/35854785.err is not executable; ensure interpre +ted scripts have "#!" first line [Wed Dec 26 10:28:05 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] couldn't spawn c +hild process: c:/oracle/ora92/apache/apache/cgi-bin/35854785.err

      The answer is right there, it says your script isn't executable. It's not being recognized as as a program. Possibly because it's named .err and not .pl or .cgi.

        Hi ok, let me rephrase the question, How can I download the file that I am displaying on the web?, that's what I need to do, like for example I need the file example.err how can I download it from the web page, I already try to use "Save Links As..." and if I click the link its giving me the error above.
      You have problems with permissions, as you can see in the 2nd line of you log. Check the permissions of the c:/perl/bin/perl.exe, the apache user need read and execution permissions to it.
