1) I'm trying to publish to server via http:// using FP2002 - 2002 extensions are
enabled on server (and it's a Windows server).
2) I can't get any (published) cgi/perl files to be executed, I keep getting
various server errors like 404 (file not found), 403 (denied access) etc even
though the files are definitely there.
try www.southern.perth.anglican.org/cgi-bin/test/tester.cgi
also try www.southern.perth.anglican.org/search_test.htm - the page uses the web
search component but when you click submit, says the _derived/northbots.htm
couldn't be found.
It's my first time in a long time using the publish feature as I usually use FP
to develop sites but upload using normal FTP programs (non-Frontpage extension
hosted servers), however this site is on a FP enabled server so I thought I'd
take advantage of that fact.
The domain is http://www.southern.perth.anglican.org which is hosted by
www.arach.net.au
One message I receive is (among others)
"Server Error - the folder /cgi-bin/<folder name> is marked executable. You are
not allowed to put files in an executable folder on this server."
Note, I'm more used to using Unix servers not Windows, so how does a Windows
server handle cgi/perl? Does it treat file permissions (like Unix) with
equivalents of chmod 666 or 755 or does it just ignore these (if permissions are
actually able to be set at all - depending on the configuration?) anything like
Unix? with read, write execute etc?
Like if a perl script on a Unix server needs permissions of 666 for certain
components of the program (modules and so on) one file and 755 for the
executables (.pl, .cgi) another, how do you tell a Windows server to treat the
files in the equivalent way as with a Unix server?
If I am using Frontpage and the extension features does this mean I can't run
thirdparty perl/cgi scripts?
In the right-click properties attributes for the folders the box "allow scripts
to be run" is able to be ticked but "allow programs to be run" is greyed out. Is
perl script (in the context of frontpage and allowing scripts to run) considered
a "program" or a "script"
Perhaps in this case "script"t means "javascript" or "vbscript" ? rather than
php or cgi/perl for instance.
I hope this makes some sense..... ;-)
thank you.
