Thanks for the suggestion Rob. All I can find are 2 copies of winsock.dll: c:/WINNT/system32/winsock.dll c:/WINNT/system32/dllcache/winsock.dll They're both the same version 3.10.0.13
I assume it's ok to have a copy in the dllcach directory and that's not a source of the problem? Does python require a specific version of winsock.dll? The OS is windows 2000 5.00.2195 Service Pack 4. Cheers, Ralph Rob Wolfe wrote: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Trying to get moinmoin wiki working on Windows 2000 using IIS and > > python.
