CGI and server 2003 IIS6

[Michael Clease]

Hello Eros,

I know that the CGI module is in Limbo at the moment but does the current version work as I cant seem to get it to work at all with TB scripts?

The examples all point to items that must of been on your old server before it died because none of that stuff works.

I am running it on a windows server 2003 IIS6.

If I enable all unknown CGI extensions in web extensions in IIS6.0 thinbasic works but I am not happy leaving it like that
In IIS manager I have expanded Web Service Extensions
Add a new Web Service Extension
In Extension Name I typed
ThinBasic
I clicked Add
In the path to file I have tried
C:\thinBasic\thinBasicc.exe

C:\thinBasic\thinBasicc.exe “%s” %s

C:\thinBasic\thinBasicc.exe “%s” “%s”

Then Click Allow and OK

but still no joy.... Any suggestions?

Regards

Hi Michael,

please check help at http://www.thinbasic.com/public/products/thinBasic/help/html/configuring_thinbasic_under_ii.htm
In particular, the extension is the file name extension so it is not "thinbasic" but ".tbasic" or "tbasicc"

Also consider allowing directory access authorization to IIS* users you want to access your thinBasic CGI scripts

Let me know, it is some time I do not use thinBasic CGI :oops:

Thanks Eros.

Eros,

Do you have the opportunity to do CGI / client (Javascript/AJAX) programming at work? Are you just a desktop/server guy?

Panic over it would of helped if I read the instructions on the screen.

I removed it all and started again.

It wasn't until I added the web service extensions ".tbasicC" (minus the quotes) it started working.

Perhaps this information could be added to the instructions for IIS6.

no that is incorrect in my post I stated "WEB SERVICE EXTENSIONS" not "APPLICATION EXTENSION MAPPING" (see your pictures) :onthequiet:

Here are some screen shots of what I am talking about.
