Specifying a Windows NT CGI Directory
To specify a Windows NT CGI-only directory:
1.
From the Server Manager, choose the Programs tab.
2.
Click the Win CGI Directory link.
The WinCGI Directory window appears.
3.
In the URL Prefix text field, enter the URL prefix you want to use for this
directory.
That is, the text you type appears as the directory for the Windows NT CGI
programs in URLs. For example, if you type
wcgi-programs
as the URL
prefix, then all URLs to these Windows NT CGI programs have the
following structure:
http://yourserver.domain.com/wcgi-programs/program-name
Note
The URL prefix you specify can be different from the real Windows NT CGI
directory you specify in Step 5.
4.
Choose whether you want to enable script tracing.
Click the Yes or No radio button under “Enable Script Tracing?”.
CGI parameters are passed from the server to Windows NT CGI programs
through files, which the server normally deletes after the Windows NT CGI
program finishes execution. If you enable script tracing, these files are
retained in a
/temp
directory or wherever the environment variables TMP
and TEMP are pointing. Also, any window that the Windows NT CGI
program brings up is shown when script tracing is enabled.
5.
In the WinCGI Directory field, enter the location of the directory as an
absolute path.
Note that this directory doesn’t have to be under your document root. This
is the reason that you need to specify a URL prefix in Step 3.
6.
Click OK.
7.
Save and apply your changes.
