RE: Windows 2003 Server SP1 / IIS 6.0

I can successfully run two a perl script files from my default website but I
can not run the same files from another website.

I have verified that the permissions for the wwwroot and cgi-bin sub folders
in both the ‘Default’ and ‘mywebsite’ are the same. I only get the following
browser error with ‘mywebsite’

One file returns: "You are not authorized to view this page"
The other file returns: "The page cannot be found"

Both files are in the same folder and it seems odd that they would return
different errors.

Here are my permissions settings for both website at the folder level and in
IIS.

Folder permissions were obtained by Right-clicking the folder, selecting
'Sharing & Security' and then the 'Security' tab.

Any ideas?

Are you saying that you can run the Perl script files from the commandline
but cannot run them from a website, or are you saying that you can run it
from one website but not another, yet both websites are supposedly
"identically" configured. In particular, you are also saying that both
websites are pointing to the exact same physical files, so execution should
be identical on both websites.

Please report the actual IIS Log entries corresponding to both of your
browser errors. The log files are in:
%systemroot%\system32\LogFiles\W3SVC#\*.log

I see lots of problems with the configuration you describe and several
pieces of missing information, but I do not know what you are trying to
accomplish, so I cannot suggest better.
