Yeah, you're probably right. I guess I'll have wait and see...

No doubt. I think it IS the best yet. I also think it could be a lot more,
but that RDS probably doesn't have the time to invest in making it a true,
full-featured bulletin board. Of course, I'm always apt to be proven wrong.

should have enough to get you started. It was written for Linux,
if you're using Windows the paths will be different.
But someone here will know what to do.

Also, one of the ways I got information about setting up CGI in Apache
was to find out how to configure php, perl, etc., for Apache. It's
basically the same, you just replace those language components with
EUPHORIA's... :)
I've got a FreeBSD box serving EUPHORIA CGI via Apache and a
Windows XP box serving EUPHORIA CGI via IIS. If I can set those
up, anybody can.

Start here: http://my.execpc.com/~keithp/bdlognt.htm
Then Google after that.

If you can wait until Monday, I can review
my settings and get back with you. ;)

what version of IIS do you have?
this is a link covering IIS3 & 4 with Perl, but is largely
applicable.

Well, we really can't tell much from that, but I would try
putting the full url there, instead of just the \cgi-bin\test.exw,
then I would add to the top of your cgi script a crash_file()
to direct error messages to somewhere so you can take a look at them.
If you do not get a crash_file(), then that might indicate that
exw isn't being executed at all.
Beyond that, it may be a problem with permissions, and since you're
running Windows, I can't help there.

I'm guessing that since it attempts to
execute, that you need to add a console for the stdout
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;190002
If you have the registered version of Euphoria you can
bind the exw into an exe. If the exe works then the problem
is in the script mapping.

That usually signals that your program stopped because of a bug or something.
Check the folder in which the test.exw file is and see if there's an
"ex.err" file. If there is, fix the problem it describes and try again.

I do not know about iis, but using Apache on Linux, it is possible that
the Euphoria interpreter may not have enough privileges to write that
ex.err file where it wants to. So you might have to set up a separate
folder for those error messages, writable by all. Then redirect the
error messages to that folder using crash_file()

On both Windows and FreeBSD, I've always found
the ex.err file in the cgi-bin (or folder) where
my apps were located. I do recall having to give
the user that runs Apache permission to write...
I think. My memory is fuzzy on that now. :/
