abyss server requirements?

[John Tate]

I get either error 404 or 405 when I push the submit button on my form.
I have read all the info I can from the abyss forums. It will just will not run my sample PB exe file.
Any ideas on what to tweak on the abyss server to get it to run my exe?

Thanks,

John Tate

Hi John,

have you told Abyss about executable files by creating a 'Script Path' entry?

Open the 'Abyss Web Server Console' then click on...

Hosts...

Configure...

Scripting Parameters...

Script Paths...

Add...

Set the following...

Virtual Path: /*.exe
Interface type of executables in this path: CGI

Hope that helps.

After following your directions, my sample exe ran OK.

I am ready to experiment with PB and cgi stuff!

Thanks so much, David
