The improved security model implemented by Internet Information
Services (IIS) 6.0 prohibits the execution of CGI scripts and programs
with unknown extensions. Ensim Pro configures IIS 6.0 to allow only CGI
scripts developed in PHP and Perl to run on sites. CGI programs compiled
into .exe files and files with unknown extensions are not allowed to run.
You must use the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
interface to grant execute permissions to specific CGI programs.
Connect to the Ensim
Pro server using the console or terminal services and log on as the administrator.
Click Start
> Run,
type inetmgr in the Open text box, and click OK.
The Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager interface opens.
In the IIS
Manager window, expand the local computer, and double-click Web
Service Extensions. The list of Web service extensions and their status
opens in the right pane.
Under the Tasks
area, click Add a new Web service extension....
In the New
Web Service Extension window, type a name for the new extension
in the Extension name text box,
and click Add.
Select or enter the
location of the file for which you want to grant execute permission in
the Path to file text box.
Click OK.
Add more files if needed. The newly added files are listed in the Required files text box.
Select the Set extension status to Allowed check
box.
Click OK.
The new extension is listed under Web Server Extensions with the status
as Allowed.
