Microsoft IIS 4-5 support
[ The "cgi-bin" directory | basepath ]
If you want to use HomepageSearchEngine with IIS (Internet Information Services) version 5.0 (under Windows 2000) or 4.0 (Windows NT 4.0), you should take care of the following configuration notes, to avoid problems.
For IIS version 6.0 (Windows 2003), please refer to the IIS support main page instead.
-
In the IIS webserver, the CGI directory is called "scripts" per default, lies in the same directory level as the webroot (default "wwwroot" - eg. F:\InetPub\wwwroot)
and is already configured correctly to run CGI programs inside.
You as administrator (or your InternetServiceProvider) can make a directory called cgi-bin, of course.
Here we assume this and show you how that cgi-bin directory must be configured.
After selecting cgi-bin in the IIS part of the Management Console, click on "Properties" and
there should be given only rights to Execute! The window should look about like this:
Afterwards, check the "Web Sharing" settings in Windows Explorer: In Windows Explorer, select the directory
(in our example F:\InetPub\cgi-bin), right-click it, choose "Properties" and then "Web Sharing".
There must be activated "Share this folder" and the Alias name cgi-bin must be given to it. Select the Alias name and click on "Edit Properties...".
In the appearing window must be activated "Execute" (and "Scripts"), but *not* "Read". The two windows should look about like this:
-
Note that the basepath directive of the configuration file hse.ini should point to an absolute path, to ensure working properly under IIS.
eg. basepath = F:\InetPub\wwwroot\mydomain
So, a relative path (as possible under Apache) should be avoided.
