Malte- I found the writeup I posted to this list on 18 April 2006 archived at gmane. I'm posting it in its entirety. In 2006 I was still using a Win2k server, so some of this is probably different now. I still don't recommend doing this, but this should at least give you an idea of what you'd be

Thanks for the head ups guys. Will have my coworker try to set things up today. Mark, you raised my curiosity. What exactly were the problems you encountered on IIS? Did it work at all? Or was it just complicated? All the best, Malte___

Malte, Richard, Andre and others may help you more directly than me ... My last experience about using a server side solution on the win platform (1998, win NT 4 server, Apache 1.3, PHP + MC + PG) did'nt never work very well. Why ? The win NT RAM management was so sad in this config that the

Malte, I think you're in for a wild ride here my friend. I never used CGI on windows machines but if you can run apache then it should be easier than trying this kind of stunt with IIS. Below I will reproduce the steps needed. I haven't tried them I am just converting the common steps for other

Malte Thanks to RRobert from Hamburg, if you can do all you want in a standalone, you can do it as a CGI. It is easy to forget that a CGI is just an ordinary program with specific output. His detailed explanation is here -

Peter, The standalone trick will not work on some circunstances. If you don't have X11 installed on the linux machine (Common for servers), the standalone will not load due to missing libraries. :-/ PS: This was the case long time ago, need to double check now if it still holds. Andre On Mon,
