Author WEB app. backu up and running

Thanks to the folks here and the at dBI that worked to solve the IIS 6
problems, my dBase web application is back on line. Besides finally
fixing it so you don't need "Allow all unknown cgi applications" set to
allow, my biggest problem seems to have been with telling dBase and
Windows the correct path to the files and making sure that the program
and users had the correct rights to those folders. For some reason if
dBase couldnot find the correct path to the files, it would just hang
with no error page or anything. Makes it hard to debug that way <g>.

Anyway, thanks again to all that helped with this problem. I need to do
some tweaking, but I think it is all ok at the moment.

It is possible that the hanging CGI is not caused by an error. It might
be a valid message box that is generated but can not be cleared. Be sure
that you set the system environment variable and, in your app, set the
errorAction property:

DBASE_SUPPRESS_START
UP_DIALOGS
errorAction = 3

David,
I followed the directions given in the new dBase How To article for Web
setup for IIS6. http://www.dbase.com/dBase_intermediate.asp

The only other thing I did was to set hard path's in each of my .dbw
files (C:\webserver\BSAF\e
tc.). For some reason I have not been able to
get any relative path code to work yet. Need to get back to finding out
what I have done wrong. The "hanging" I was getting seems to be
related to a bad path or as Michael has pointed out, maybe dBase was
waiting for a message box to be ackknowledged, but it was not showing
up. Not completely sure.

All I know is that except for changing the path, I did not modify the
old code and it now is working.

Hope this helps.

Charlie

Hi Charlie

this may be of some help to you. I had a similar problem at one stage with
virtual paths. In my case, trim() ing the values solved the problem.
