Problem with IIS and Perl setup: Windows Server 2003

Topic

New Reply

I know my perl scripts worked in the past but I rebuilt server and am not sure where things belong in directory structure.
1. Perl code. Can it be under the C drive or should it be under my website?
2. Scripts that call perl – should they be under the C drive or under the website

ie. this is how I have it set up but it doesn’t work right. Should the scripts directory be up at the C level
c:
Bin
Perl
other …
Inetpub
…..wwwroot
…………..images
…………..Scripts (perl routines)
…………..HTML files
…..ftproot

That set up looks OK, but you need to tell IIS where the Perl executables reside and how to run Perl scripts. Normally this would be done with the Perl install program and you would then copy your scripts into the appropriate directory.

That worked, I ran install but forgot the final installation script that I had to run

Paul see my post on the next thread. I should have put it here but goofed. That shows the full setup and code

Have you tried re-installing PERL?

cheers, Paul

yes, even tried a different version of perl but nothing different. Both installs claim you don’t have to run any scripts after installing from a .msi file. For some reason I think it has to do with where perl is located and were the scripts that the website runs are
