webinator 2 walker code install

Hi All,
I downloaded the webiantor 2 walker code from http://www.thunderstone.com/texis/site/ ... ample.html . However I have problems invoking it

Should I save the file as .vtx ? That is waht I did.
I saved it in inetpub/wwwroot/webinator
and, tried invoking it on the browser
http://localhost/scripts/texis.exe/webi ... hadmin.vtx

But, got an error Error
002 /webinator/searchadmin.vtx: Can't create object file C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\webinator\searchadmin.vtc: Permission denied

Please help me understand the problem and how to fix it.

Thanks

You should save it and execute it with no extension. The .vtx file is the compiled version and will be created automatically the first time you use the script.

For Texis to compile the script, you need to open the permissions up on the webinator directory so that the webserver user (or everyone) may write to it.

Mark,
I tried what you suggested and got beyond the original error. Now I am getting a script timeout error when I try to invoke the admin interface by browsing to

http://localhost/scripts/texis.exe/webi ... earchadmin

The timeout message should be reporting the script line number it was on when it timed out. Look at that line number of the "searchadmin" file. What's there?

There is no line numbers or anything. All that I get is -
<head><title>CGI Application Timeout</title></head>
<body><h1>CGI Timeout</h1>The specified CGI application exceeded the allowed time for processing. The server has deleted the process.

There is a .vtc file created in the filesystem. The first time I ran it I got an error - "Failed to rename searchadmin.vtc to searchadmin.vtx". I then changed the permissions on the folder to allow write access. But, from then on all I get is the CGI timeout error

I renamed the .vtc to .vtx and tried running and now I get a "Permission denied". You are not allowed to access the database.

I see an allowip line in the file
and i edited one of the values to be that of my machine - which runs the IIS /webinator

<$allowip=">>=\L10.100.103." ">>=\L208.51.0.">

Can you explain what the second one is

Try deleting the defunct .vtc file so it can retry the compile.

They are all REX expressions for matching client IP's. $allowip should only contain the patterns for which you wish to allow access to the script.
