Hi:
You need to allow your cgi folder to be executed. Again go to the properties
of PWS. Go to the Advanced section and click in your cgi folder (if you
don't have this folder create one). With this selected, click "Edit
Properties" and see the Access to this folder. This should be Execute &
Script.

Hi :
I have the icon and it also says it is running. If I go to the browser and
put down my cgi URL it comes up with the following error.
403.1 Error Forbidden : Execute Access forbidden
This error can be caused if you try to execute a CGI, ISAPI or other
executable program from a directory that does not allow programs to
be executed.
Please contact the webserver's administrator if the problem persists.

Kamali:
If you installed PWS, you can see a small icon in your taskbar near to your
clock. If you don't see the icon, go to start -> programs -> accesories ->
Internet Tools -> Personal Web Server and run the Personal Web Server Icon.
Second, don't call your cgi from your command line!!! Open your browser and
write in your url address localhost/cgi-bin/first.cgi
This have to work.

Subject: Re: Windows 98 - PWS and Perl
I edited the register and mapped the .pl as well as teh .cgi extensions.
Rebooted the machine. The PWS can display a HTML page. It has problems when
it gets to the CGI file.
I tried to do the
perl -c first.cgi
at the command prompt after chaning the directory my
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin where my first.cgi is. It gives an error -
"Bad command or file name " Any ideas - what elese needs to be taken care
of ?
"Click in Properties -> Advanced and select the folder where you have your
html document. Look at "Default Document" to display the correct pages."
This , I did not understand in your email. Click on Properties ... of what
and where? Could you please help?
Thanks

Click in Properties -> Advanced and select the folder where you have your
html document. Look at "Default Document" to display the correct pages.
Also, you need map your .pl and .cgi extension in your registry.
Go to Start -> RUN and write regedit. Click OK.
Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE folder.
Click en [System] -> [CurrentControlSet] -> [Services] -> [W3SVC] -> [Script
Map]
Right Click and select "String Value". Write .pl and press enter. Double
click in your new extension and in Value data write the complete path of
your perl program and add %s to the end.
For example: c:\perl\bin\perl.exe %s %s.
Boot your Machine and call your cgi script in your browser like:
localhost/cgi-bin/yourscript.pl and have fun.
I hope this work for you.

Can somebody help me , please ?
