IIS 6 does not automatically setup the script mappings for Perl CGI scripts correctly.
1st In IIS 6 (bundled with Server 2003 Web) you need to go to the IIS Web Server Extensions and either enable all unknown CGI extensions (not recommended) or add a new web server extension called Perl or something like that. Add the C:/path/to/perl/perlis.dll file to the Required Files and check the allow box (this will tell IIS that it can use this file as a script mapping). 2nd You need to go to the folder in your website that has the CGI you wish to execute (IIS6 MMC->Server->Web Sites->Your Site->Virtual Directory with CGI). Click on properties and go to the Home Directory tab. Click configure on the application settings. Add the application mappings for .cgi and .pl that use the same perlis.dll as used in 1st. Add the verbs that you wish (I use only GET and POST). Try browsing your CGI again. -----Original Message----- From: Robin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2004 4:57 AM To: MRTG List Subject: [mrtg] mrtg/rrd cgi problem Hello I having problems with the cgi script. The RRD db is working fine and is creating the .rrd file in the appropriate directory. I have amended the cgi script to point to this directory etc. However when I try and run it in IIS nothing happens, doesn't even open a webpage. Any ideas at all? Do i need any other files to make it all work? do I need a cgi-bin directory? Im running Windows 2003 Web edition.
