Getting Execute permission denied

Pankaj_11 — Fri, 24 Sep 2004 08:21:16 GMT

I am using HP UX 11.0.

I have compiled a code and generated the executable. When I run the executable, I get "Execute permission denied" although execute permissions are set.

What is the reason for this and how can I get rid of it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Pankaj,

Is the executable file in executables directories for the user/group?

If the file is incompatible with the system type, you might also receive this error.

Check the PA-RISC level using file:
# file (executable)
(executable): PA-RISC1.1 shared executable dynamically linked

Hi Pankaj,

Just out of curiosity, can u do a 'what' on the executable?. Is it possible that this binary executable file may be having some conflicts with your UX platform? where did u compile it?

Hi Pankaj,

If the permissions are set to execute and if you are still unable to execute, then follow Cheryl's advice. It's mostly due to incompatible hardware.

$file #file type
$file /stand/vmunix #CPU type

Compare them. If the CPU type is more than or equal to file type, then it should execute. Otherwise, it won't. For ex., PARISC1.1 type executables will get executed on PARISC2.0 machines but not the otherway.

1)Are there any ACLS Set ? or is it just regular permissions set that you are using?

2)Is the name of the executable same as any other system executable which is set ahead in the $PATH which might be getting executed before this ./executable ?

3)If you create a executable to just echo "Execute permission denied", you would get the same message when you execute it ;) LOL, I guess That wouldnt be the case anyhow.
