Not a valid Windows NT Application
First time install of DBMan on Windows NT 4.0
running Personal Web Server. This is my test
platform prior to porting apps to UNIX (Sun Solaris.

Perl Release: ActivePerl version 5.6.0.

Have install DBMan at <server>/cgi-bin/dbman.

When I enter ...
<server>/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi
I get ...
%1 is not a valid Windows NT application.

ActivePerl installation created new file type
with execution (Open) command of:
C:\Perl\bin\Perl.exe "%1" %*.

Please help, thank you.

I didn't ever have much luck running anything through PWS. I have used "Xitami" on my home computer and had much better success.

You are running the script through your browser, right?

Hi JPDeni,

To answer your question ... yes I am running the the db.cgi script with by browser. I am using a Netscape browser and PWS. The URL I use is http://<myserverroot>/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi.

What am I missing?

Just downloaded Xitami, and will try it a little later.

Thanks.

You may need to change the name of your file to db.pl. (I always forget that little trouble-shooting tip.)

Re: Not a valid Windows NT Application In reply to
JPD,

Thanks for pointing me in a good direction.
On my Windows 98 platform at home, I downloaded and installed the Xitami web server, and ActivePerl. I then downloaded
and installed dbman per your tutorial site
(http://www.jpdeni.com/dbman/tutorial.html).
That got dbman working, not like I expected,
but working nonetheless. The Main Menu came
up without the signon screen any real options
to go anywhere. The page told me what my authenication setting where - anyone can view
only admin could change. It gave me two
links on the page 'home' and 'logoff'. I went through your routine when the username and passwords don't work, (even though I
wasn't presented with a log on screen) and this allowed the form to run with uid=default
and db=default settings - this wouldn't work before. Right now I'm content that it works somewhere. I'll have to try it on NT at work after the weekend. In the mean time
I'll try myhand at customizing the input form
and the results page.

Again thanks.

I'll probably open a new message next time because I've made this one a bit long.

I forgot to mention the problem with Xitami. Sorry. (It doesn't come up very often. Smile )

In the auth.pl file, you'll have to make some changes -- not many.

In sub auth_check_password, look for

Code:
my ($server_auth) = $ENV{'REMOTE_USER'} &#0124; &#0124; $ENV{'AUTH_USER'};

Either delete or "comment out" that line. (You probably won't need to have it when you upload your application anyway, so it's not a problem to delete it.)

Further down in the script, in sub auth_check_permissions, change

Code:
# Otherwise, check to see if we have been passed in a user id to
# get permissions for or we have one from server authentication.
if ($ENV{'REMOTE_USER'} &#0124; &#0124; $ENV{'AUTH_USER'}) {
$username = $ENV{'REMOTE_USER'} &#0124; &#0124; $ENV{'AUTH_USER'};
}
else {
($userid =~ /^([A-Za-z0-9]+)\.\d+$/) ? ($username = $1) : return (0,0,0,0,0);
}

to

Code:
# Otherwise, check to see if we have been passed in a user id to
# get permissions for or we have one from server authentication.
($userid =~ /^([A-Za-z0-9]+)\.\d+$/) ? ($username = $1) : return (0,0,0,0,0);

Now it will work correctly on Xitami.

I promise! Smile

It's fine to start a new thread. This problem has been fixed anyway. Smile
