[WEB400] Re: Browser tries to download program

[Mel Rothman <mel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This probably is an HTTP Server Powered by Apache (PBA) configuration problem, 
most likely with the CGIConvMode directive.

I haven't gotten into PBA yet, but Giovanni uses it to run his very large 
Easy400 site.

Please use his sample PBA configuration as a template for modifying yours.  Or, 
get things working with his configuration and a few of his sample programs. 
Then, modify the configuration to accommodate your files and CGI programs' 
locations, URLS, etc.

The sample configuration is at http://www-922.ibm.com/easy400apc/conf/httpd.conf

Note: that configuration uses CGIConvMode %%EBCDIC/EBCDIC%%
