You still need to configure IIS for FoxWeb access. You can find detailed instructions in the
Configuring Your Web Server page of the FoxWeb documentation.
I'm not sure what the distinction is between 'home directory --> local path' and 'home directory --> starting point'. Here are a few things that I see wrong with your configuration:
- The root directory of your Web site should never point to the FoxWeb path, but rather should point to a location that contains static html files and images (e.g. c:\inetpub\wwwroot).
- You either need to set up script mapping for the .fwx extension (recommended), or create and use a virtual directory that points to foxweb.dll. Both solutions are described in the documentation page listed above.
- It is never a good idea to enable 'Scripts and executables' access for the root directory of your Web server. What you should do instead is enable such access only for virtual directories that actually contain CGI executables and ISAPI DLLs.

hi,
i just baught a new dell powerEdge700 server with windows 2003 server as OS, running IIS6.0 version. after IIS server running okay, i tried to set up foxweb 2.6 on it. since i don't know much about IIS, i tried the following:
- create a site called foxweb by IIS manager-->computer name--> web sites--> foxweb; in its property page,
- web site tab, ip 141.211.111.141, port 65525
- home directory--> local path: c:\program files\foxweb,
- home directory -->starting point-->c:\inetput\wwwroot\cgi_bin\foxweb.exe for .fwx files
- home directory --> execute permissions: scripts and executables
- allow foxweb service by IIS manager --> computer --> web service extensions;
- configure foxweb configuration center
while the default web site on this server at http://evalexam.umich.edu/tq_psych.htm is doing fine, i can't get foxweb program running. i don't know what i missed or did anything wrong. pls help!!!
