I'm getting Permission denied error when trying to run a binary executable, and I can't figure out why.

[me@me bin]$ ./alpha
-bash: ./alpha: Permission denied

(root is able to run)

mod is 777. I suspected selinux, but setenforce 0 doesn't help. File context is system_u:object_r:default_t:s0.

The file was first installed on NFS, shared with another server, then moved to local storage. After this, I started to get the error. On the other server, where the file is still on NFS, it runs without any problem.

This is getfacl result, so I believe this is not ACL problem:

# file: alpha
# owner: ****
# group: ****
user::rwx
group::rwx
other::rwx

What can cause the Permission denied? Where can I look for logs?

Check the extended permissions on the file with getfacl. – Raman Sailopal Jul 09 '17 at 13:25
Can you show the actual command and full error message? – l0b0 Jul 09 '17 at 18:15
Make sure the filesystem which the executable was copied to allows files to be executed (there's a mount flag) – rici Jul 09 '17 at 18:34
