Installation into IIS

[toma]

I am running W2K with IIS 6 as localhost (testing of course).

I have downloaded and installed the latest versions of greymatter, perl and php.

I created my virtual site, etc. and can bring htm/l pages up with no problem.

I have modified the cgi files with the perl path, about every way I can think of for a windows installation and set and modified every permission I can find for cgi, scripts and executables, and I still get a 500 when I attempt to execute gm.cgi.

Any suggestions? I am stuck here.

Thanks, Tom

Hi Tom,

Just to make sure everything is working, can you get a small script like this to work:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w

print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
print "Server's environment\n";
foreach ( keys %ENV ) {
   print "$_\t$ENV{$_}\n";
}


Does this cause the 500 as well?

I created perl.cgi and tried to execute it. 500.

I do have question though. Since this is a windows machine, will #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w even be found?

C:\Perl is in the system path.

toma,

You are on the right path. The link below will walk you thru the things your will need to do step by step, but remember that you will also need to associate '.cgi'
