newbie need help in installation
Hi,
Thanks for making such a great utility free to use.
I wanted to evaluate Fileman 2.0 on my own machine before recommending it to my company.
Right now I've installed IIS 6.0 on Windows XP SP2 with ActivePerl 5.8.
I managed to get everything installed - just copied the files to the Scripts directory and open up cmd.exe to execute
>perl install.cgi
I don't think anything went wrong here.
Just accepted the usual paths here and all the files are now under the C:\Inetpub\Scripts directory.
The problem starts now:
When I want to operate the utility I attempt to open
http://localhost/Scripts/fileman.cgi

In IE 6.0 it gives a 500 error
and in Firefox 1.0 it gives
%1 not a valid Win32 application

I checked out
>perl fileman.cgi
and it spews out html code so I know there is some problem with the settings.
I need help in this now. I don't mind reinstalling FileMan. Your support here could only get a new customer. BTW great utility as I've seen from the snapshots.
Thanks in advance for all the help.
It would be great if I can get the stuff working by 11:00 PM (EDT) today.

Cool
Oh solved it myself.
Setup the cgi and pm handlers in IIS to the ISAPI handlers in perl/bin.
Did everything well
Great Work by the way.
