I am in the initial stages of testing out the OI 3.5 oicgi with MS Information Internet Server 2.0 v4.0 on Win NT 40. I plan on taking the RevU course in May and wanted to get a jump on some development.

I have followed the step-by-step guide as well as the IIS doc and

am getting a msg "Server is not available or CGI has no access rights". I have checked the rights and verified that the server is

available. Can anyone point me in a different direction?

BC,

Seems the cause can range from the simple (forgetting to run Inet_Gateway) to the complex. There's an article at http://www.revelation.com/WEBSITE/knowledge.nsf/88e0581886ff6a0d8525651c004caecf/8da2d41507cc1fcf85256563004da11e?OpenDocument. If that doesn't help I'd search the list with e.g "Server and available and CGI and access and rights" because there are several postings that may be relevant.

Oystein,

Thanks, I will check it out.

BTW - I do have the OI Inet gateway service going.

Well I added the DWORD to the registry and modified the WWW Publish

service for to allow service to interact with the desktop.

Still no go. Do you know of any diagnostics to check?

Thanks

BC,

I don't think I can be of much help. Fortunately for me (un-ditto for you, perhaps) I've never had this particular symptom (not counting when I forget to run Inet_Gateway ). And it seems much is different between our setups (different web server, different OS, different OI version). So if you've searched the list and read all the postings I'm afraid I've run out of ideas.

BC,

I've ran into a similar situation before and the following does the trick. They were using OI 3.7, NT 4.0 service pack 4, Microsofts PIS 4.0:

This should allow your OICGI access problem to be fixed:

I. Add the CreateProcessAsUser key to the Windows registry:

 1)  From the Start button, select Run and type regedit and hit        return.

 2)  Go to the following directory:

             HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\

     Parameters\CreateProcessAsUser

     Set the default to 1.  If CreateProcessAsUser does not exist,        create and set equal to 1.

II. Next we must go to User Manager and add rights:

 1)  From the Start button, go to Programs -] Admin. Tools -] User        Manager

 2)  From the tool bar, select Policies 

 3)  Checkmark the Adv. User Rights checkbox.

 4)  Click on the Rights drop-down box and select Log on as Service

 5)  From the listbox select IUSR_computername

 6)  Now to add Administrator Rights, double-click on Administrators        in the Main User Manager Window's listbox.

 7)  Select IUSR_computername

III. Now we must configure your Services:

 1)  Go to your Control Panel and select Services.

 2)  Select World Wide Web Publishing Services from the listbox and        then Startup button.

 3)  From here, make sure you select automatic startup and that you        check the Allow service to Interact w/Desktop.

 4)  Do the same for the IIS Admin Service as you did for the WWW        Publishing Service.

Reboot the server and now try running the OICGI w/ INET_TRACE.

Good Luck,

Stephen Revelation

Stephen,

Thanks,I have done most of what you outlined except for 2 bullets.

One question is the CreateProcessAsUser; you mention to set it to a 1; in the "Server is not avail" knowledge base bulletin it says to set as a zero; should it be 1 or 0?

Thanks again.

BC,

Apologies, it should be set to zero.

Regards,

Stephen Revelation
