Jimbob123,

Error 404 means that the file is not there. Check the paths and ensure that the file is put in Abyss Web Server documents path directory (by default it is the hdocs/ subdirectory inside Abyss Web Server's installation directory).

Jimbob123,

Please send your abyss.conf file to our technical support and let us know where the actual file is (its full path in the hard drive) and what is the URL you used to get error 404.

To download, yes, to actually execute it, I've seen it done, but I don't think it's just any old .exe they're running.

Might want to get the paths sorted first.
