Solution to IIS relative paths, compatible
|
Can't Post

OK, I've posted this code is some other topics aswell. I think it's very important everone knows about this.
Most comlex scripts fail running under IIS with relative paths or require 'file' files. Most of the time, a 'can't locate at @INC', or 'file not found' message appears (or is written in the error log). This is because the current directory in IIS is the WWW-root. I've seen a solution to this problem in the code of a different BB system.
Here it is:
BEGIN{
$THIS_PATH = 'current-directory-you-specified';
if($ENV{'SERVER_SOFTWARE'} =~ /IIS/) {
push @INC, $THIS_PATH;
chdir($THIS_PATH);
}
}
...
# This all works now!!!
require 'morecode.pl';
open('file.txt') or die ....
P.S. Currently, I'm developing a bunch of mudules for this.
XProgramming::CGI::Location; // auto detects location of CGI + IIS bugfix
XProgramming::CGI::ErrorTrap; // handle errors better, with personal dialogs
XProgramming::CGI::Template; // template parser
And so on.
They are available as single download at this moment, , available from http://www.cool-programming.f2s.com
I've posted this topic in the Immediate Subject first, but I realized it should be posted herre.
