We are trying to get PowerHouse Web on NT to work with Internet Information
Server.

We have built a simple screen similar to the one described in chapter 2 (A
guided tour of PowerHouse Web,  Building a Simple PowerHouse 4gl
Application) in the PowerHouse Web Guide.  We built the home page as
described on page 36.

After setting everything up according to the manual, we get the error
message when selecting the menu item on the home page.

"This CGI is out of service"

The home page and the html built from our simple screen contain lines like
the following:

<form ... action="/cgi-bin/phcgi.exe" ....

This seems to be a problem as in IIS there seems to be a virtual folder
called cgi-bin which doesn't seem to work properly.

If we edit the two pieces of html involved and change the line above to

<form ... action="/phcgi-bin/phcgi.exe" ....

And then in IIS create a virtual folder called phcgi-bin which points its
local path to the same directory as cgi-bin the simple example works fine.

I thought of deleting the cgi-bin virtual folder, but there is no way to do
it!


We contacted Cognos in Sydney and after several days of back and forth were
told IIS is Microsoft's product log a call with them.

Has anyone experienced similar problems or know how to fix it?  We don't
what to manually change the cgi-bin to phcgi-bin every time we recompile a
program.
