[hobbit] Problem viewing "Critical Systems"

Greg,

I tried another test that allows me to connect directly to the display host without using a tunnel.

I get the the same error, but with this browser it's a bit more descriptive - 
"The file hobbit-nkview.sh" is of type application/x-sh, and Mozilla does not know how to handle this file type.  The file is lcoated at: http://hostname:1000

What should Mozilla do with this file?"

It seems that Apache is trying to send the .sh file instead of executing it and forwarding the output.

This does seem like an Apache config issue but I've made the changes suggested in the installation.

Can you give me any other hints?  Thanks.
