Using: Windows 95, Netscape Communicator 4.02, MS Personal Web Server for Windows 95, OI 3.5 with WEBX, INET_LINK in SYSPROG

INET_GATEWAY and the web server are both running

Static publishing works OK. That is:

 http://MyWebServer/WEBX.HTM displays the WEBX form in Navigator.

but:

http://MyWebServer/cgi-bin/oicgi.exe/INET_REPOS?DOC_ID=WEBX

yields the following message in Navigator:

"HTTP/1.0 403 Access Forbidden (Execute Access Denied - This Virtual Directory does not allow objects to be executed.)"

Any thoughts as to what this means and what I'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.

Hi-

I don't have MS Personal Web Server, so I'm not sure how it's set up, but since the error message mentions a virtual directory, it sounds to me like it has to do with a key in the registry. Is /cgi-bin/ a directory directly beneath your webserver root? Is there some other directory (like Scripts) that MS Web server uses to execute procedures? If so, you might try copying OICGI.EXE to that directory and then trying to make the call to INET_REPOS from that directory.

Bingo!! Thanks Tracy
