CGI Scripts Must Use Full Directory Path (151963)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Information Server 1.0
This article was previously published under Q151963 We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site: SYMPTOMS
CGI scripts that manipulate files in directories other than where the CGI
script is executed will not run correctly if the CGI script references
virtual directory aliases rather than the full path to the file.
CAUSE
The Internet Information Server (IIS) CGI interface does not recognize
virtual directory names.
RESOLUTION
For example, when you open a file, use the following:
c:\inetsrv\scripts\data\mycgidata.txt
instead of the following:
/scripts/data/mycgi.txt.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Internet
Information Server version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will
post new information here as it becomes available.
