Help (PLEASE) CGI on 98/NT
I had my Win95 Personal Web Server (PWS) up and running
just fine, having merely followed the simple instructions on
Aaron's pws.html page at the starship.

So they go and give me a 98 machine. Well, it has PWS, so
you'd THINK it'd work if I did the same thing. Nope.

I get "500 Server Error" and NO other help from Mr. Gates.

My sysadmin has been unable to get NT's IIS 4 to run Python
CGI as well.

I (desperately!!!) need someone to come to the rescue, at LEAST
on Win98's PWS, and hopefully also on NT's IIS 4.

HELP!!!!

PLEASE REPLY DIRECT TO ME AT manus@python.net IN
ADDITION TO POSTING. Much obliged!

Manus

Generally, whatever works for Perl should work for Python also
with few changes. Maybe take a look at this

http://www.DynamicNet.net/support/fp/perlwithPWS.htm

And lemme know if anything there helps, or search around using
dejanews, microsoft.com, lycos etc. for additional help, keywords="perl...".

When you fix it propose patches to
my page, please (or, I think there was a python-cgi faq somewhere
that could be updated too). The problem may have to do with
mime type registration...
