Why the executable file could not execute?


when I want to execute the binary file or shell scripts ,I got this prompt : -bash : ./test : Permission denied and I am sure I've changed the file's permission : chmod u+x test

Which test are you talking about??

There's already a program called test (/usr/bin/test). Depending on the place of the 'new' test program and the path setting, you might try to start the 'real' test program.

Rename your new test program to something else.

Hope this helps.

Quite strange... only advice I can give is to check that:
1) you are not on a filesystem mounted with -noexec flag
2) try a "ls -l test" to check you actually have the appropriate permissions
3) on non-native fs (like vfat) execution permissions are set filesystem-wide
4) if the file has "set-uid" enabled, maybe this is disabled for your user or fs for securty reason
5) if a script uses the #! tag (e.g. #!/bin/perl) you may have used a wrong executable path
