cgi-bin & installation

We are setting up a new Windows 2000 web server and we would like to use the Webinator as our search engine on our Web-site. We need help with creating or configuring the cgi-bin directory on our Windows 2000 machine. How do we go about setting up the cgi-bin directory on our new machine? What components are needed to set up the CGI-BIN?

If you are using IIS there will typically be a directory already set up called InetPub\scripts which is a virtual directory mapped to /scripts. You can just use that, and your URLs will be:

http://servername/scripts/texis.exe/scriptname

or if you wanted to map a different virtual directory you need to make sure that the directory is set to allow execute permissions.

I installed in W2000 cgi-bin directory and texis runs, but gives 'cannot get config settings' error. The instructions do not say anything about how to input file paths. Please describe where to put the config file and any other files.

You might look at http://thunderstone.master.com/texis/ma ... 3a3e884111 to see if that helps. You might also try the new Webinator 4 beta.
