Web Issues

I'm trying to use the demo in "Demos\Web Tier\APACHE" and I'm
encountering some issues.

I'm using the "Demos\Servers\Volume Types\Reports in Files" server and
using the "Dynamic List" demo client with this server works fine.

When I try to access reports via a browser I get a "Internal Server
Error", and Apache's log file states "DLL could not load
GetExtensionVersion". I'm using Apache 1.3.26.

I then tried a CGI version, and had better success with that. I was able
to see the list of folders & reports, but when I click on a report the
browser's status line alternates very rapidly between displaying
"Sending request to 127.0.0.1" and "Document: Done". Apache's error log
doesn't show any thing, but the access log shows:

(etc)

The last 6 entries are identical except for the session ID.

Has anyone experienced this before?

Thanks,

    The WebTier has been tested with Apache 1.3.26.

    1. Make sure that you follow the directions in the RBServer\Demos\Web
    Tier\APACHE\REadMe.doc. Sounds like you have an Apache config issue of
    some sort.

    2. The RB WebTier cannot be used in CGI applications. This is an error
    in the ReadMe.doc that we will correct for the next maintenance release.
    During development of RB Server it started out supporting CGI, but due
    to performance considerations it was not going to be a viable solution
    and furthermore caused the internal architecture of the WebTier to be
    slower for ISAPI as well. And the code was more complex.

    Yep, that was the problem. Thanks for pointing me in right direction.


    Fortunately I didn't spend too much time trying to get it to work.
