Hello Darren,
I had a few minutes this morning and since I had been asked several
times by different folks on how to make cgi-fcgi work with Netscape
Server I decided to give it a try. This was not as straight forward
as I would have hoped it would be and in my opinion, the solution is
a bit of a kludge. So if anyone out there has a better way to make this
work please let me know.
Anyway, here's what I did.
Operating System: Windows NT 4.0 Server
Web Server: Netscape 2.01
1) Add a file type to the NT File Types.
This is done using the Windows NT Explorer as follows:
A) Open Windows NT Explorer
B) Select View -> Options
C) Select the "File Types" tab
D) Click on "New Type"
Description of type: FastCGI Script
Associated extension: fcgi
E) Click on New under "Actions"
F) Enter "open" under Action.
G) Enter the pathname of the batch file (this is new and is below)
"c:\FastCGI\FcgiBin\cgi-fcgi.bat" "%1"
H) Click OK
G) Add a shellcgi directory to the Netscape server
**** New Batch File: Write this to cgi-fcgi.bat ****
@echo off
./cgi-fcgi.exe -f %1%
Give this a try and let me know if it works for you.
As for the native Netscape plugin, all I can say is that I'm working
on one and it will be available sometime soon. Sorry I can't be more
definitive than this but it's being done along with alot of other
things I'm working on.
Hope this helps,
- Bill -
