Links 1.11 and windows NT
Sorry if this topic has already been covered, I've been out of the online scene for a while Smile I have installed the links scripts before under a UNIX based server with much success. I would like to install and use the scripts under windows nt workstation 4.0. I think some of you have done this already. Can anyone provide some tips or pitfalls to avoid. I have much hands on with NT just never used any cgi's with the NT servers. Any help would be great! Thanks in advance!

First off in your links.cfg file find
# You really need to use flock(). However if your system doesn't support it (Win95),
# then turn this off at your own risk!
$db_use_flock = 1;

Set $db_use_flock = 1; to $db_use_flock = 0;(I dont think WIN NT handles flock)

Now find
The verify script can now use fork() to spawn multiple processes. It's a little
# new, so if you run into problems with nph-verify or if your system doesn't support
# fork() (win95), then turn this off.
$db_use_fork = 1;
Change $db_use_fork = 1; to $db_use_fork = 0;
(not quit sure if WIN NT handles that ether(besure to test both out though).
I installed Links on NT a few times and set both of those to 0 and didnt run into any trubles,
Thanks
