Richard ,

I've only used the Rev engine on Linux and BSD, never on Windows servers
yet.

Anything tricky about using it on Win as a CGI, or should it be about as
straightforward as on Linux?

The only time I used Rev cgi on a Win server, it was as easy and straightforward as on Linux, except that I never managed to interface it with mySQL and had to
write 2 short PHP scripts for that...

My experience was pretty straightforward too. (A lot easier than on OS X) But I had to use a special engine version. At that time distributed by Metacard, and I think it was about engine version 2.4 in terms of functionality. I don't know if Rev distributes an up-to-date version of this, or whether the normal engine can be used these days.

Below are some old instructions I wrote for setting it up. (In this case, the executable was named cmc.exe)

It [the folder where you place the scripts] should be set as a "virtual folder" under IIS. The "execute permissions" should be set appropriately to allow script execution. The ".mt" extension should be configured to map to the cgi executable (see below). Under IIS, the "executable path" for the cgi engine should be set like this (but the path will depend on where you locate the cmc.exe engine):

C:\mc_cgi\cmc.exe %s %s

You can "limit" the verbs to "GET,POST".

Cheers
Dave
