Hi Curtis,

My guess would be that the gliserver.pl script is failing during loading because the Perl path at the top is incorrect or it's failing to load a required module. I don't know anything about IIS but I'd expect these errors to be written to an error log file somewhere. The web server log you include in your e-mail looks more like an access log -- is there another log for errors?

I assume you have your reasons for using IIS, so I won't try to convince you to use Apache :-) However if you get desperate you could install this temporarily to work out what the problem is -- any errors loading gliserver.pl will be written to Apache's error_log file.

None of the remote Greenstone functionality (including the client version) will work without the gliserver.pl script running correctly (perhaps this needs to be made clearer in the documentation).

Regards,

Michael

We are currently working to install/configure gsdl's gli applet version 2.73

Accessing http://ourserver.domain/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.exe works fine. We can add collections from the console, but have been unable to get passed the http://ourserver.domain/gsdl/cgi-bin/gliserver.pl?cmd=check-installation when pursuing the applet.
We receive the error "CGI Error The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers."

I have reviewed the wiki and documentation multiple times. The only difference between my installation an the instructions here, is on step 4 removing all extensions does not work. After removing all the extensions, when I go back to check the extension they are all back. Seems as though IIS6 doesn't want you to remove them all. I even tried removing each one individually, but they can back from that method as well. Didn't seem to matter as the library loads anyways.

I found one posting on the mailing list suggesting to add "print STDOUT "Status: 200 OK " ; " to the gliserver.pl at the end of the get_script_options method. That had no affect for us. The posting is here.

I have noticed that if I leave off the "%s" %s arguments the cgi will be terminated by the server after a timeout period, and with the arguments we have the CGI error. I have also tried with All Unknown CGI Extensions prohibited and allowed, no difference. To me, allowed seems like a terrible way to have to go.

I have downloaded and attempted to use the client instead of the applet. I receive the following three errors, after attempting to login:

Are there any Windows 2003 server admins out there that have overcome this issue? Any suggestion anyone might have (other than use nix) would be great.

System specs per the troubleshooting section of the wiki
