How to install Oddmuse on WinXp, IIS and ActivePerl
Hi,
i try to install oddmuse on a winxp machine with iis and active perl but with no success :-(
my directory structure looks like this:
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\oddmuse\
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\oddmuse\cgi-bin
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\oddmuse\data
In \cgi-bin i put the wrapper script wiki.pl and current.pl
In \data i put the config file

thanx a lot...

Re: How to install Oddmuse on WinXp, IIS and ActivePerl
Did you look at the info on the Windows page of the Oddmuse site and the corresponding comments? Since it works with Apache, the problem must be with IIS. Can you get any Perl script to work on IIS? Try it with a very simple CGI script, first.

Re: How to install Oddmuse on WinXp, IIS and ActivePerl
hi,
yes i looked over the windows pages and all comments.
perl is not the problem - i have some perl scripts running. i also tried the very simple CGI script and it shows:
CGI Version: 3.15
so everything should be fine with perl.
as described i use the following structure:
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\oddmuse\
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\oddmuse\cgi-bin
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\oddmuse\data
this is what i did in current.pl:
$DataDir = 'c:\inetpub\wwwroot\oddmuse\data' unless $DataDir;
result is:
Cannot create c:\inetpub\wwwroot\oddmuse\data: No such file or directory

Re: How to install Oddmuse on WinXp, IIS and ActivePerl
okay i found the mistake: 
1. In current.pl i changed the line
Code:
BrowsePage($id, GetParam('raw', 0), undef, '404 NOT FOUND') if ValidIdOrDie($id);to
Code:
BrowsePage($id, GetParam('raw', 0), undef, 'ratdoglives') if ValidIdOrDie($id);(see description here)
Than i was able to see the HomePage (First time 
).
2. The next problem was a wrong path in the URL.
I only had http://localhost/oddmuse/cgi-bin/HomePage instead of http://localhost/oddmuse/cgi-bin/current.pl?HomePage. So this problem is described here at the usemod site. It`s because of a problem with the ActivePerl version 5.8.7.816. I changed to version 5.8.7.815 and now everything works fine...
Hope it help, greetz

Thanks. I added the info to the Windows page on the Oddmuse site.
