Answer 1

Looks like you are trying to run chromedriver.exe on Linux. You have to download binary file for Linux. .exe from stack trace doesn't look like correct one.

Then you have to add executable flag to it chmod +x chromedriver

Answer 2

Given below permission to chromedriver and it works.

chmod 777 chromedriver

As previous answer there is no relevance to the .exe part in stack trace
