admin.cgi' script produced no output
win 2000, perl 5.008, ISS 5.0

I have this message in internet explorer when I execute de script admin.cgi :

'c:\inetpub\wwwroot\script\links2\cgi-bin\admin\admin.cgi' script produced no output

I placed a full path for the link.cgi in the admin.cgi file

I set the option db_iis to 1

The beginning of the link.cfg file :

Does this look right to you?

Code:
$db_script_path = "c:/inetpub/wwwroot/script/links2/cgi-bin/dmin";

Code:
$db_script_path = "c:/inetpub/wwwroot/script/links2/cgi-bin/admin";
