SID-01204: Attachements saved as .pl.exe are executable

Status:	Unanswered	TWiki version:	4.3.2	Perl version:
Category:		Server OS:	CentOS release 5.4 (Final)	Last update:	14 years ago

When I upload a .pl file to a page, it automatically renames the file to .pl.txt, which is good. However, when I click on the attachment, it still attempts to execute the attachment, as opposed to showing it as a text file.

Here is the relevant section of my twiki.conf:

<Directory "/var/www/twiki/pub">
    #if you are using an svn checkout an pseudo-install.pl, you will need to enable symlinks
    #Options FollowSymLinks
        Options None
#       AllowOverride Limit
        AllowOverride None
        Allow from all

        # If you have PHP4 or PHP5 installed as Apache module make sure the directive below is enabled
        # If you do not have PHP installed you will need to comment out the directory below
        # to avoid errors.
        # If PHP is installed as CGI this flag is not needed and will in fact make Apache fail
        php_admin_flag engine off

        # If you have PHP3 installed as Apache module make sure the directive below is enabled
        # If PHP is installed as CGI this flag is not needed and will in fact make Apache fail
        #php3_engine off

        # This line will redefine the mime type for the most common types of scripts
        AddType text/plain .shtml .php .php3 .phtml .phtm .pl .py .cgi


</Directory>

Any help in resolving this would be greatly appreciated. I am new to twiki and have not been able to find much online for this issue.
