[Codestriker-user] CodeStriker Configuration Issues with IIS 5.1

[Duvuri, H. K. <har...@lo...>]

Hello All,

 

I have followed the configuration of CodeStriker as specified in
"Codestriker Guide" but the below is the issues

 

I am deploying on "Windows XP with SP 3" and "IIS 5.1".

 

As specified in section 2.5 I have configured and when I try to browse
the http://localhost/codestriker/codestriker.pl and it throws and error
page couldn't be found. I further went and checked in
"D:\codestriker\bin" but I didn't find the "codestriker.pl" file.

 

Further to test the configuration is correct or not I have created a
sample .pl file and followed the below steps and it worked fine. I hope
the problem is creating the virtual directory and point to right file as
specified in section 2.5.

 

Pls let me know if anyone had faced this issues and addressed it.

 

2.5. IIS configuration

Startup the IIS configuration application by going to "Control Panel" ->
"Administrative Tools" -> "Internet Services Manager". Like the Apache
configuration, the webserver needs to be told where to find the
Codestriker CGI script, and where to find the associated CSS and html
help files. Assuming you are deploying Codestriker under the "Default
Web site", right-click this entry on the left hand frame of the window,
and select "New" -> "Virtual Directory" -> "Next". Enter in codestriker
into the Alias

textfield, then click "Next". Then enter the cgi-bin directory of your
unpacked Codestriker distribution into the "Directory" textfield, then
click "Next". Make sure the "Execute" access permission checkbox is
selected, then click "Next", click then "Finished".

 

It is important that the codestriker virtual directory is setup to be
able to execute Perl scripts. Right-click the codestriker virtual
directory and select "Properties". Click on the "Configuration..."
button. Check that there is an entry for .pl files, and that the
"Executable Path" entry looks like (substitute the path to your local
Perl installation):

 

C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe "%s" %s

 

If there is no mapping for .pl files (which would be odd, since the
ActiveState install does this for you automatically), add a new entry in
with the above setting, limited to "GET,HEAD,POST". Make sure you enter
the quotes, as shown above. Follow a similar process for the
codestrikerhtml directory. Right-click "Default Web site" and select
"New" -> "Virtual Directory" -> "Next". Enter in codestrikerhtml into
the Alias textfield, then click "Next". Then enter the html directory of
your unpacked Codestriker distribution into the "Directory" textfield,
then click "Next". Make sure the "Read" and "Browse" access permission
checkboxes are selected, then "Next", then "Finished".

 

Best Regards,
