First, a must, you need to edit the file config.ini in the d\sambar50\config\ folder and change in the [http] section
Perl Executable = d:/perl/bin/perl.exe CGI Extensions = *.cgi *.pl About CGI Extensions, you can create your own extension like *.felicia as long as you add it to the line above(ex:CGI Extensions = *.felicia *.cgi *.pl) and you must create an association in the file options in windows explorer like you associate MP3 files to WINAMP player. May I suggest using "isapi" by editing the file "mappings.ini"(also in d\sambar50\config\) and adding the line: [isapi] *.cgi *.pl *.felicia= d:/perl/bin/perlis.dll You still need to create an association in the file options in windows explorer for the extension *.felicia. Then, you don't even need to add the path line on top: #!d:/perl/bin/perl -w All the slashes must be / and not \ in both config.ini and mappings.ini See example of created extension at: http://www.ecommercefacile.com/domain3.jopel jopel ----- Original Message ----- From: "feliciahk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2001 6:15 AM Subject: Re: [sambar] How to use CGI ? > Thanks, > > I have installed activePerl from activestate and it is working fine from Dos > Prompt, It shows all the kinds of errors, no problem at all. > > When I installed sambar, I noted that by default, perl is found in one of > its subfolder. > > > Just install Perl an change the path to the perl interpreter in a > > windows style ... > > I would appreciate if members could teach me step by step how to change the > "path" or whatever so that if my perl script has an error, the types of > error is shown in the browser MSIE. > > Using win98, > my activePerl = d:\perl > my sambar = d:\sambar50 > > Sigh !!!
