[REBOL] Re: Why does my html ACTION call merely display and not execute my scrip
From: kracik:mbox:dkm:cz at: 2-Mar-2001 12:21
Hi Michael,
AFAIK all versions of IIS for Windows NT are configured with the
management console. Only Personal Web Server (crippled IIS4 version)
for Windows 9x needs configuration in the registry.
Also, scripts don't have to be in cgi-bin directory if IIS recognizes
them by .r suffix.
I'd first suggest a simpler test than a POST request from HTML form.
Here's how I set up REBOL as CGI on Windows 2000 Advanced Server with
64 MB memory:
I made a simple script:
==================
REBOL []
print "Content-Type: text/plain^m^j"
print "hi"
print mold system/options/cgi
print system/version
==================
saved it as C:\inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-test.r
Then I configured the web server with the management console
Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Internet Services Management
according to the attached picture (Listar that runs the REBOL mailing
list will probably strip the attachment so I CC it to you directly).
Then I started Internet Explorer and typed
http://127.0.0.1/cgi-test.r in the address bar.
The script ran and gave this output:
==================
hi
make object! [
server-software: "Microsoft-IIS/5.0"
server-name: "127.0.0.1"
gateway-interface: "CGI/1.1"
server-protocol: "HTTP/1.1"
server-port: "80"
request-method: "GET"
path-info: "/cgi-test.r"
path-translated: "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-test.r"
script-name: "/cgi-test.r"
query-string: none
remote-host: "127.0.0.1"
remote-addr: "127.0.0.1"
auth-type: none
remote-user: none
remote-ident: none
Content-Type: none
content-length: "0"
other-headers: ["HTTP_ACCEPT" {image/gif, image/x-xbitmap,
image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, */*} "HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE" "en-us"
HTTP_CONNECTION
"Keep-Alive" "HTTP_HOST" "127.0.0.1" "HTTP_USER_AGENT"
{Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)}
HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING
"gzip, deflate"]
]
2.3.0.3.1
==================
So try this and if it will work, try a simple HTML form with
ACTION="/cgi-test.r"
Hope this helps,
