rs000001.pl & Windows Server 2003

[Kev@Flexi.Net]

Hello,

Has anyone attempted to use the referrer script on Windows Server 2003 & IIS6 yet? I'm trying, but no matter what I do it just gives me a "The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers." error with no further information. Whats worse is that the referrer.pl does no form of error logging to track the problem down.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

After investigating with FileMon I found that perl was not able to find the files that were needed for the require statements. Adding this line:

push (@INC, "cgi-bin");

before the require statements in referrer.pl (on the local machine) and then uploading fixed the problem for me.

This will only work if your cgi-bin is called "cgi-bin", and may only be needed if your cgi-bin is located within the htdocs folder? I'm not entirely sure on this though so don't take my word for it.

Hi Kevin

That sounds correct, see our knowledge base article here

Hi Darren,

You may wish to add an explanation to that kb article which explains that if you are using windows server 2003 then you won't receive any other error than "The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers." This is what caused me to stumble in diagnosing this problem.

Thanks Kevin, I will pass the information onto the team member who creates the knowledge base articles.

Hopefully it will help others!
