1) I have installed editwrx manually tons of times on Linux servers, but I am having troubles with installing it on a Windows server.

2) My first attempt was to install editwrx.cgi without any changes. This did not work so I changed the extension to .pl since I had to do that to other scripts installed on the server. Running editwrx.pl produced 'D:\www$post_text39\cgi-bin\editwrx.pl' script produced no output.

3) Running editwrx.pl?environment produced Your server does not have a usable environment variable for determining your site's root path
/www/0039/editwrx/library/routines.txt does not exist. This would be correct because the path to routines.txt should be D:\www$post_text39\public_html\editwrx\library\routines.txt.

4) Next, I modifed the editwrx.pl file from:

sub get_root{
 $path_to_domain = $ENV{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'} || $ENV{'SCRIPT_FILENAME'} || $ENV{'PATH_TRANSLATED'} ;
 $path_to_domain=~s-\-/-g;
 $script_uri = $ENV{'SCRIPT_NAME'} || $ENV{'PATH_INFO'};
 $path_to_domain =~ s-$script_uri$--;

to:

sub get_root{
 $path_to_domain = $ENV{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'} || $ENV{'SCRIPT_FILENAME'} || $ENV{'PATH_TRANSLATED'} ;
 $path_to_domain=~s-\-/-g;
 $script_uri = $ENV{'SCRIPT_NAME'} || $ENV{'PATH_INFO'};
 $path_to_domain = D:\www$post_text39\public_html;

Running editwrx.pl produced 'D:\www$post_text39\cgi-bin\editwrx.pl' script produced no output.

5) Running editwrx.pl?environment produced Your server does not have a usable environment variable for determining your site's root path
/www/0039/editwrx/library/routines.txt does not exist. This would be correct because the path to routines.txt should be D:\www$post_text39\public_html\editwrx\library\routines.txt.

6) Next, I started with the original editwrx.pl file and edited:

sub get_root2{
 $path_to_domain = $ENV{'SCRIPT_FILENAME'} || $ENV{'PATH_TRANSLATED'} ;
 $path_to_domain=~s-\-/-g;
 $script_uri = $ENV{'SCRIPT_NAME'} || $ENV{'PATH_INFO'};
 $path_to_domain =~ s-$script_uri$--;

to:

sub get_root2{
 $path_to_domain = $ENV{'SCRIPT_FILENAME'} || $ENV{'PATH_TRANSLATED'} ;
 $path_to_domain=~s-\-/-g;
 $script_uri = $ENV{'SCRIPT_NAME'} || $ENV{'PATH_INFO'};
 $path_to_domain = D:\www$post_text39\public_html;

Running editwrx.pl produced 'D:\www$post_text39\cgi-bin\editwrx.pl' script produced no output.

7) Running editwrx.pl?environment produced Your server does not have a usable environment variable for determining your site's root path
/www/0039/editwrx/library/routines.txt does not exist. This would be correct because the path to routines.txt should be D:\www$post_text39\public_html\editwrx\library\routines.txt.

8) Other info that shows up when editwrx.pl?environment is run:

ALLUSERSPROFILE=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users
COMMONPROGRAMFILES=C:\Program Files\Common Files
COMPUTERNAME=NS2
COMSPEC=C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe
HTTP_HOST=http://www.(domainname).com
NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS=1
OS=Windows_NT
OS2LIBPATH=C:\WINNT\system32\os2\dll;

PATHEXT=.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.VBS
PATH_TRANSLATED=D:\www$post_text39\cgi-bin\editwrx.pl
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=x86
PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER=x86 Family 15 Model 2 Stepping 4, GenuineIntel
PROCESSOR_LEVEL=15
PROCESSOR_REVISION=0204
PROGRAMFILES=C:\Program Files
SCRIPT_NAME=/cgi-bin/editwrx.pl
SYSTEMDRIVE=C:
SYSTEMROOT=C:\WINNT
TEMP=C:\WINNT\TEMP
TMP=C:\WINNT\TEMP
USERPROFILE=C:\Documents and Settings\Default User
WINDIR=C:\WINNT

9) If BOTH lines (items 4 and 6) are modified, the same errors show up.

10) Is there another file that can be modified so the path is correct?

Your server's path contains an illegal character for a path - the $ sign. A $ sign is a reserved character that turns the characters after it into the name of a variable.

Change your

 $path_to_domain = D:\www$post_text39\public_html;


in the get_root subroutine to

$path_to_domain = '/www$post_text39/public_html';


That is FORWARD slashes inside of SINGLE quotes

THANK YOU!!!!

I just reviewed my original post, and this WYSIWYG editor on this message board actually changed my paths. This D:www$post_text39public_html is NOT what I typed in orginally. I had typed in D: \ www \ 039 \ public_html (no spaces) and the WYSIWYG editor changed it. However, your recommended coding gave me the clue to change the code to '/www/0039/public_html' which worked!!!!!
