[REBOL] Re: Why does my html ACTION call merely display and not execute my scrip

I need to make an html form ACTION call to a rebol script in order to
get the data entered on a form. The problem is that although I am using
scripts I took off rebol.com or rebol.org, and I have Windows 2000 IIS
setup with a virtual cgi-bin directory, and the form does call the
scripts, the call merely displays the text within the scripts even
recognizing tags and doesn't execute the scripts with rebol. Does
anyone have any suggestions as to why this is not working correctly.
According to the books REBOL for Dummies, REBOL User's Guide, and
independent HTML Documentation publications, the project is set up
correctly.

Hi, Mike,
It sounds as though the server does not recognize that the script file
is an executable, instead of just another form of content. I am far
more familiar with Apache than IIS, but the principles are usually the
same. Double check the settings of IIS to "be sure" (apparently covered
on the third page of chapter 18 of Ralph's book). The server needs to
know that a script with the extension of .r is executed by REBOL (it
will also need the complete path to the rebol version that you are
using).
Hope this helps.
