nph-proxy and windows

[yellowcat]

hello all
first to say the same script works fine in linux on my duel booting box

i have down loaded the perl script nph-proxy and active perl

active perl is in C:\Perl\perl\bin\perl

i am using abyss ws in linux and windoz

my shebang line in windows is
#!/perl/perl/bin/perl
although i have tried many other variants but none without the C:/

can any chap help out
regards
yello

No idea, but shouldn't it be #! usr/

I also seem to recall (vaguely) that the script might have to have an .nph extension rather than a .cgi one.

Just a couple of thoughts

there is no usr on xp but the perl exe is to be found both in bin and perl folders

OK, it has been a while, and it wasn't XP.

Are you sure you don't need some sort of Windows runtime executable?

I seem to remember that you somehow have to tell Perl it is working with nph? but I could be wrong.

I do seem to recall that one of these should work with windows

#! /usr/bin/perl
(yes, I have managed to have that work)
or
#! C:\Perl\perl\bin\
or
#! C:/Perl/perl/bin/

You don't need that line in windows...
Just associate .pl with the perl executable.

got it fixed
i had to set up the link in abyss to point to perl
i changed the shebang to point to perl
i had to add the extension in abyss to .cgi
now it all works


new if i tried every permutation it would work

next is to try and get resolution to work in linux!!

cheers everyone for your help

Hah!

Got that one wrong then?

i had to add the extension in abyss to .cgi

I thought that had something to do with it, but had it the wrong way round?

Anyways, it works now?
