Dear Parish,

i'm new to Abyss and i like this little piece of software very much ;-)

But now i want to use an ISAPI extension and don't know how. I have an index.dll and each time i go to this URL my browser want me to download this file. Do i have to install any interpreters like php, which runs very reliable?

I would be glad if someone would answer me in a few words. RTFM is also accepted if you tell me which one.

Regards

Lang

You should avoid using ISAPI if possible because if it crashes, it takes down the web server too.

What scripting language are you using in your index.dll file? I think you may have mis-understood what ISAPI is since you're then asking about PHP.

An ISAPI module is basically an interpreter which runs the code in your webpages. PHP can run in CGI, FastCGI or ISAPI mode. They all execute the code the same but ISAPI is tied into the webserver where as FastCGI and CGI work as a seperate program.

I think you need to RTFM about ISAPI and what it does to be honest :-)

Once you have read it should should grasp what its about and then have other questions.

This may be a problem

I dont think so. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISAPI#ISAPI_applications
My DLL is written in Delphi and contains no script syntax. It's a binary file

Not in my mind. My intention was to replace this bloated IIS by the abyss webserver

In which case you need to set up an interpreter running in ISAPI mode for the file ending you're going to use (dll I assume) and have that run the file you want, just like PHP does when you run a php file, it calls the php.exe file to run the code.
