create cgi-bin ?

[Michael Tissington]

Using VS 2008 ... I have created a new folder cgi-bin in my project and then
created a c# console exe.

How do I set the permissions on the folder so that the exe executes.

I know how to do this on the real IIS but not on the development iis.

Any ideas please ?

Hi Michael,

As for the let the console exe run as CGI, do you mean you want the exe to
run as CGI service in Visual Studio test server? If so, I'm afraid this is
not supported. Visual Studio test server is written as a winform program
which can only process ASP.NET requests. If you've written a CGI program,
you need to deploy it into IIS server for test.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your reply.

For IIS 7, I think the exe console application won't change much, what will
change is the configuration process since IIS7 has different configuration
model and user interface. Here is a blog entry mentioned this:

#How to run CGI applications on IIS7
http://geekswithblogs.net/Lance/arch...cgi-applicatio
ns-on-iis7.aspx

BTW, it seems IIS7 will add support for write more components(such as ISAPI
) in the future.
