To be clear -- unable to access an INI file usually points to a permissions
issue, not a problem with how IIS "executes" a CGI.

IIS executes a CGI the same way IIS4/5 does -- call CreateProcess* on it.

I will hand this info to the CGI tester to try out.

On a whim -- can you add IIS_WPG List+Read ACLs to the CGI and INI file and
see?

David,
We did two additional tests:
On Windows 2000 Pro + IIS 5.0:
1. The CGI+client database work fine on Windows 2000 with
IIS 5.0. Just installed IIS 5.0. Created a virtual dir for
the CGI with execute script in the properties dialog of
the virtual server and it works great.
On a Windows server 2003 + IIS 6.0 (fresh install):
1. We installed the CGI and database client on a Server 2003
with a fresh install of IIS 6.0. We created the virtual dir
for the CGI and set it to execute scripts. Same steps as
we took when installing on Windows 2000 + IIS 5.0 and it
does not work. The CGI is unable to access its .ini file.
Bottom line: Our CGI + database client works fine with
Apache 2.0.48, IIS 4.0 and IIS 5.0 but it does not work
in IIS 6.0 even if we enable the IIS 5.0 compatibility mode.
So, there must be something in IIS 6.0 that prevents the
correct execution of this CGI and I do not think is an
ACL problem.
If you want I can send you the CGI stub, it is very small,
70k, so yo can test what is going wrong. Our address is
'comercial' at 'shopsland.com'
Thank you in advance! :-)
Hoch.
