 |
|
Hi
I'm setting up the Abyss Web Server for testing cgi-bin's generated with CGI-Expert under Delphi. I place the exe file to the cgi-bin directory and call it with: http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/PB.exe
Instead of executing the programm I get the Save-File-Dialog. The CGI-Bin seems to be too simple to have an error, so did I something wrong on the Server-side ?
Thanks for any help: Michael |

We never used or tested CGI-expert. But the main reasons why the .exe isn't run are the following:
* It is a 16-bit executable
* It is a GUI application
* The cgi-bin isn't decalred in the CGI Paths table.
To help you know why it doesn't work, please send PB.exe to support@aprelium.
Thank you

As far as I can see none of the reasons do apply.

I did send you the file. It just contains 3 lines of code: Mainly something like: PutLine('<HTML><BODY>Hello World</BODY><</HTML>')
As far as I can see the program doesn0t get started. Otherwise my log or my debug would have stated that.
Thanks again : Michael |

I am having the same problem with a cgi exe file generated in VB6.
When calling the exe I just get the save/run dialog. Is it a case of setting a mime type to execute an exe? If so How?
Thank you

Abyss Web Server can run Win32 Console applications. Executables generated by Delphi (using CGI-Expert) and VB6 aren't supported in the current versions.
We will provide a workaround in the near future.
Thank you.
