Brian W Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 what is .cgi really? A website that I have been assigned to get working on our server has a search function in CGI and I don't even know where to begin. Basically, from what I can tell, it searches the HTML of the .html pages (or it has them already indexed) the file is actually a .cgi, not .exe We are running IIS7 on Windows Server 2008. Need to know where to at least start. Currently get this error when I post a search to it: HTTP Error 405.0 - Method Not Allowed The page you are looking for cannot be displayed because an invalid method (HTTP verb) is being used.

trq Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 cgi scripts can be written in a variety of languages, you can even configure php to run as cgi. Commonly however, cgi script are written in Perl. If you post the code, we might be able to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian W Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 Since I've posted this, I've found that it is PERL that it uses. the application is FM SiteSearch. I've also installed ActivePerl and have it running seemingly on our test server but I have to redo it all cuz some one else broke the test server. Try again tomorrow after they have restored the system to this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
