It contains installation instructions for +cgi.tcl on Win95/NT. + +If you do not have Tcl, get it (the README explains how) and install +it. The rest of these instructions assume that you have Tcl +installed. + +-------------------- +Installation +-------------------- + +These instructions are based on contributions courtesy of Maan +M. Hamze and Martin Meuer +. Send fixes to me (libes@nist.gov). + +If you just want to experiment with cgi.tcl, you can simply source it +into your Tcl files by saying "source cgi.tcl". + +Once you're done playing, go ahead and install it. To install it: + +1) Open wish8.0 and run the following: + + pkg_mkIndex c:\\tcl\\lib\\tcl8.0 cgi.tcl + +(assuming that you have Tcl libraries in the above directory). This +This will create pkgIndex.tcl which will make it possible to use +"package require cgi" in scripts. + +2) The only files actually necessary for production use are +pkgIndex.tcl and cgi.tcl. Make sure those files and their directory +have execute permission for the web server scripts. + +3) You may want to edit some things in cgi.tcl at this time. + +3a) The default extension of the files that work with cgi.tcl is .cgi. +In case that extension is already being used by another program for +your cgi programs, you may want to change that extension into +something else, say, .cgt. To do that, search cgi.tcl for the string +.cgi and replace with .cgt or whatever you prefer. + +3b) Upon errors in production code, cgi.tcl sends mail to an +administrator. This can be set on a per-script basis but it defaults +to "root". You'll probably want to change this for your site. To do +that, search cgi.tcl for cgi_admin_mail_addr "root" and change the +argument to whatever you prefer. + +3c) The cgi_mail_end procedure attempts to do mail delivery using SMTP +(the de facto Internet mail protocol). However, this mechanism is not +robust. For example, if the mail gateway is down, the mail will not +be requeued for later delivery. If you have a robust mailer program +or some other interface, you should switch to using it. The ability +to send mail isn't required for basic use of cgi.tcl, but this ability +is especially useful for in-the-field debugging so I encourage you to +use it. + +4) Tcl/Tk 8.0 should have automatically created a file type to run +files with the .tcl extension. Make sure by running: +Explorer...Options....File Types. .tcl files should be associated +with Wish8.0. + +5) The web server must now be told about Tcl. The exact details +depend on your particular server. Here are instructions that people +have sent to me for different servers. (Feel free to send more.) + +5a) If you are using Personal Web Server for Win 95 or MS IIS ver 3 +for Win NT: + + Instructions according to Maan M. Hamze + +Run the Registry Editor. +Go to: +HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE + System + CurrentControlSet + Services + W3SVC + Parameters + Script Map +Create a new String Value through Edit: +First enter the name of the extension (.cgi or the extension you want to use as +in .cgt). Associate the extension with: +FullPathToTclExecutable\tclsh80.exe %s + +5b) If you are using Netscape Enterprise Server: + + Instructions according to Martin Meuer . + +5b1) Create an association from NT-Explorer (View-Options-Filetypes) for +the extension .cgt to tell NT to open .cgt with "/fullpath/tclsh80.exe +%1" +5b2) From the Server Manager of the Enterprise Server create o new MIME +type for .cnt with type "magnus-internal/shellcgi" +(Alternatively one can create a special shellCGI-Directory instead, +but I rather like to place my scripts anywhere.) + +6) Kill and restart your web server. + +You're done! Now you can use cgi.tcl. + +-------------------- +Examples +-------------------- + +The example directory has some examples. See the README in there. + -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
