     Hello,

     I am a beginner in IIS and web technologies.

     I am trying to test a helloworld test application which is " helloworld.cgi " written in perl.

     Steps I have done till now :

     In the Internet Information Services, I have added virtual directory called cgi-bin. Th cgi-bin is located in the inetpub/wwwroot directory. FYI: I can see CGI in the IIS.

    When I type http://localhost/cgi-bin/helloworld.cgi,I am getting the following error. 

    Can somebody help in resolving the issue ? or can some body give me a step by step guide

    for testing a helloworld.cgi application using IIS 7.0 in windows visat home premium edition.

     

    Given below is the error that I am getting.........

    HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found

    The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.

     

    Thanks in advance.

    You need to add a mapping to your ".cgi" files so that IIS knows to give them to a "handler" ... which in this case is your perl engine.

    Here are some links to help with setting this up:
