PLEASE HELP ! Installing on Windows XP and IIS 5.0

[squall]

Hi All,

I have spent several hours now trying to install greymatter on my windows XP with IIS 5.1 with no luck.

1.I downloaded and installed the windows version of pearl with the default configurations.

2.I wrote a hello world script renamed the file to TEST.PL and it worked very fine.

now....... whenever i try to run any of the gm.cgi file or any other file with .cgi extension IT DOESN'T WORK. rather, it gives a 500 error.

Any idea what's going on here ??

PLEASE HELP MEEE!

Sounds like you have done good so far.

• Open Windows Explorer
  
• Go to the folder with the gm.cgi file
  
• Right-click on the file and select Open
  
• Pick Select the program from list
  
• On the Open With dialog select the Perl Command Line Interpreter then select OK
  

Now the cgi files should run.

Have fun,
Carlos
