Hi -
I had a simple Guestbook .cgi script running on my
ISP site for nearly two years with no problems -
until they switched from Unix to MS/IIS servers!

I'm clueless when it comes to that...what considerations
are there / what do I need to change in the script to get
it *working* again? [Don't like the fact that I cannot set
file permissions, either.]

OR - can anyone recommend a simple flat-file Guestbook
script that works fine w/ this server type?

Tired of tweaking,
El

As long as the server has Perl installed and is configured to run scripts, I can't see why there would be a problem. I've run Perl scripts on many platforms without a hitch.

Maybe the path to perl executable ?
Also paths to any files the perl script refers ?

Hi -
Yes, I did some tests to check paths and these other scripts have worked
and the path to Perl was still correct...so I remain stymied as to
what about the script isn't working, anymore - but will keep plugging away.

Thanks,
El
