Hi, I have been writing up the beginnings of an installation guide. http://www.officevision.com/pub/p5ee/software/htdocs/P5EEx/Blue/installguide ..html So I appreciate you relating your experiences and working through things to get it working. (I spent some time over the last 4 days installing software on my Windows XP laptop in order to get P5EE running there.) I installed ActiveState's Perl 5.6.1 and Apache 1.3.24 (binary distribution for Win32). The default cgi-bin directory ends up being... C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\cgi-bin For now, try copying your /usr/local/cgi-bin/P5EEx-Blue directory to /Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/cgi-bin/P5EEx-Blue. Also, copy your /usr/local/htdocs/P5EEx-Blue directory to /Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/P5EEx-Blue. This will make the P5EE CGI programs and images visible to Apache. (We need to figure out a more automated and standardized way to do all of this.) Then you need to edit the "demo_report.conf" file in this directory. The default (from CVS) is ############################################################################# # $Id: demo_report.conf,v 1.3 2002/03/22 23:10:13 spadkins Exp $ ############################################################################# perlinc = /usr/ov/acoc/dev/src/P5EEx-Blue, /usr/ov/acoc/dev/lib/perl5/5.6.0 debugmode = record showsession = 1 gzip = 1 configFile = demo_report.pl #sessionClass = P5EEx::Blue::Session::Cookie defaultWname = app scriptUrlDir = /cgi-bin/pub/p5ee scriptDir = /usr/ov/acoc/dev/p5ee/P5EEx/Blue/cgi-bin htmlUrlDir = /pub/p5ee/software/htdocs htmlDir = /usr/ov/acoc/dev/p5ee/P5EEx/Blue/htdocs ttTemplateDir = /usr/ov/acoc/dev/p5ee/P5EEx/Blue/template/ttdemo Since you used a $PREFIX of "/usr/local", you should modify this to something like the following. ############################################################################# # $Id: demo_report.conf,v 1.3 2002/03/22 23:10:13 spadkins Exp $ ############################################################################# perlinc = /usr/local/lib/perl5, /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1 debugmode = record showsession = 1 gzip = 1 configFile = demo_report.pl #sessionClass = P5EEx::Blue::Session::Cookie defaultWname = app scriptUrlDir = /cgi-bin/P5EEx-Blue scriptDir = /Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/cgi-bin/P5EEx-Blue htmlUrlDir = /P5EEx-Blue htmlDir = /Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/P5EEx-Blue ttTemplateDir = /Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/P5EEx-Blue/template/ttdemo The important points are to set * "perlinc" to point to any non-default places where Perl modules are stored * scriptDir to be the directory where the P5EE CGI scripts are * scriptUrlDir to be the URL path to those scripts * htmlDir to be the directory where the P5EE images/style-sheets/docs are * htmlUrlDir to be the URL path to those images/style-sheets/docs You should then be able to get the demo to run with the following URL. http://localhost/cgi-bin/P5EEx-Blue/p5x/demo/report Let me know how this goes. If it fails, let me know what error you are seeing in the Apache error log. i.e. /Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/logs/error.log Stephen
