Hi. I directly copied E-Blah up to a Windows 2003 server running IIS6 and Perl 5.8.7 (Build 813). There was no cgi-bin directory originally, so I created one in the IIS Manager as a virtual directory under the site where the forum will be used (the box hosts multiple sites and uses a single IP) and placed the forum folder there. I placed the blahdocs folder in the document root of the site.

Question 1: Which "user" do I set the folder permissions listed in http://www.blahdocs.com/Performing_a_new_installation_of_E-Blah on?
Question 2: Should Setup.pl work with this config? If not, do I configure $root with a literal (C:\...) or relative (/cgi-bin/forum) path?
Question 3: Is it possible to set up E-Blah to share the cgi code for multiple sites? Looks like Settings.pl would need to be localized somehow, but all other "per-forum" info is kept in the blahdocs folder, right?

Thanks in advance.

1. I think it's IUSR_Guest or something like that.  If you do not have that user, sometimes it will require you to enter a user/pass to access the file.

2. Change it to C:/, and the full path to Settings.pl and in Settings.pl change all references to that.  Relative directories do not work on some occasions.

3. You can use the code: Languages, Code, and Blah.pl in one central location.  However, Settings.pl will have to be modified and a Blah.pl will need to be added to the directories (where Settings.pl is located), but just do the following in that Blah.pl:

#!c:/perl/bin/perl
require("c:/location/to/central/Blah.pl");
