running on Personal Web Server

greenspun.com : LUSENET : S-Mart Shopping Cart : One Thread

Please help!!!

Personal Web Server is configured to run Perl CGI scripts. I have Active Perl installed. The registry settings are set properly for .pl and .cgi files. I can get other scripts to run.

I have unzipped the files into the CGI-BIN folder within WEBSHARE/WWWROOT

I have appropriately renamed the files as per instructions.

I have made sure that the CGI-BIN folder is set to execute scripts.

Yet, I still cannot get the scripts to run. I keep getting a message "There is a problem with the page you are trying to reach and it cannot be displayed."

This seems like such a great shopping cart program, but it is really necessary for me to be able to configure it locally before I upload onto my web host.

What am I doing wrong? Does anyone have experience with getting this to work on Personal Web Server or Peer Web Services.

Thanks Jess Dansereau

There are a lot of restriction for using Personal Web Server as your S-Mart script. Try using other web server, i.e. Xitami, IIS and Apache.
