Hi all!

Since I have reinstalled my windows98, perl from activestate and pws,
my site doesn't work whereas it works very well before.
I always a http 500 error when i call a cgi file.
Please help me!!
Thanks.
A french guy somewhere in france ...

Did you install Perl in the same directory and drive you did before? If not, then you need to update your registry and also the Perl path you are using in your .cgi scripts.

First of all : thanks man for reply to my message.
I've checked and it's the same path (c:\perl)
and all my scripts have for first line: !perl
I've also try to convert all scripts from unix format to dos ... and it doesn't work anyway...argh!!
Why it doesn't work!! It gets on my nerves...
If you have another idea plz tell me!

Make sure that you have set the following variable to 1:


in the links.cfg file. While you are not using IIS, this works for Windows based servers.

That is the only thing I can think of for now.

I've try many things and it still doesn't work ...
Could you tell me, please, if there is another web serveur running under windows ?
Thx.

PWS sucks for interactive .cgi and .pl scripts.

You should use Apache for Windows, which can be downloaded from the Apache Web Site:

Thanks guy! and thanks apache 8)
You've right : with apache it's ok
But I had to turn off the var $db_use_flock.
Are there inconveniences (is it because I'm under win..)?

Big thanks again man for your help and your fast replys !
( and sorry for my english... )

 
With the stand alone server...NO..But when you upload the files to a live Internet server...you will need to set the flocking variable to 1 because you will be having more than one user access your database files at a time.
