Notes for configuring WinNT Personal Web Server
WinNT's web server is called "Personal Web Server" (PWS), and is on the
"Windows NT *Options*" installation CD.
It is important to take these issues into account if you plan to use
PWS to serve the www-rush.pl GUI:
o PWS must know how to run perl scripts. The best way to do
this is to install ActiveState perl, and be sure to specify
that it "Install IIS" related changes, and that it associate
the '.pl' extension with Perl.
o Try to get a simple perl script to work first. eg:
$|=1;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n<H1>OK - IT WORKS\n";
..put that in a foo.pl file in your PWS's cgi-bin (or scripts)
directory, and try to invoke it from a web browser. You should
see in large bold type:
OK - IT WORKS
on a blank page. No other text should be seen.
o The www-rush.pl script needs to be able to access network drives
in order to display things like frame log files.
For this to work, you need to correctly configure the system;
by default you will get errors like:
Z:/mydir/logs/0001: Access Denied
..when attempting to view frame log files from the www-rush.pl GUI.
