Does WWWBoard run on Windows NT4.0?Short Answer:WWWBoard was originally written to run on a Unix based system, but it can be modified to run on other platforms.
Long Answer:I have received the following two messages about converting WWWBoard to NT. It doesn't sound difficult, however I do not guarauntee that either of the following solutions will work for you.:Date: Sun, 16 Mar 1997 16:03:26 -0400 From: Jon Robison <jon@central-design.com> Subject: WWWBoard on NT - One Solution I would like to offer the solution I found. On systems using Win Nt 4.0 Server, with IIS, and using Perl.exe associated with .pl files rather than PerlIS, the following is the only change needed: For the $basedir variable, use double backslashes. i.e., mine is set to: "c:\\inetsrv\\wwwroot\\..........\\wwwboard" This was the only change needed beyond ensuring read/write permission for both the main board directory (wwwboard) and it subdirectory /messages.From: Steve Whan <Steve.Whan@BCHydro.bc.ca> Subject: WWWBoard on NT 4.0 We only had to make two types of fixes: 1) $basedir = "q:\\InetPub\\wwwroot\\live\\buysell"; 2) The OPEN statements now look like this: open(NEWFILE,">$basedir\\$mesgdir\\$num\.$ext") || die $!;
