Who told you when and where ?

Aren't you forgetting to mention the components or techniques that
would cause for that ?

I'm very sure that my cgiprograms developed under bcb3 would
run on any Windows OS if I compiled them with bcb6.

But Windows 2003 Server ?

Hans.

Dear  Hans,

My program is a simplest one, one line only:

Response->Content="Hello";

I am using Stand alone CGI. I transfer the program called bcb6cgi1.exe to my
Windows 2003 server. I set the IIS to allow execution of

http://www.colips.org/cgi-bin/testcgi/bcb6cgi1.exe

and I received:
HTTP 500 - Internal server error
Internet Explorer
If you do not believe, please run the above URL. I am sure you will get the
same result.

Please give me your CGI and let me run on my machine.

You may also try my other CGIs compiled using BCB5 under exacting the same
conditions.
http://www.colips.org/cgi-bin/testcgi/bcb5cgi1.exe

This program works.

I was told by the Singapore support person that CGIs compiled by BCB6 will
not run under Windows 2003.

Regards,

Lua KT.

That is not the simplest one. Moreover I asked you if you used
special components or techniques. So you are using a special
component that has a property Response.

Which component is that ? It is not TIdHTTP is it ? As you
would not need IIS at all then.

I did. I got a specific errorreport:
Internal Server Error 500
Exception: EAccessViolation
Message: Access violation at address 77F4831D in module 'ntdll.dll'. Write of
address 40006D09

So are you using a NT dll on Windows 2003 Server ?

helloworld.cpp:

#pragma hdrstop
#include <condefs.h>
#include <stdio.h>


//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#pragma argsused
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
                  // no headers
		 printf ("Content-Type: text/html\n\n");
		 printf ( "<html>\n" );
		 printf ( "<head>\n" );
		 printf ( "<title>hello world</title>\n" );
		 printf ( "</head>\n" );
		 printf ( "<body bgcolor=\"yellow\">\n" );
		 printf ( "<hr>\n" );

		 printf ( "<h1><font color=\"blue\">\n" );
		 printf ( "<center>\n" );

		 printf ( "Hello World" );

		 printf ( "</font></h1>\n" );

		 printf ( "</center>\n" );
		 printf ( "<hr>\n" );
		 printf ( "</body>\n" );
		 printf ( "<html>\n" );

		 return 0;
}

Please compile with bcb6. If that does not run you can get helloworld.exe
compiled and linked with bcb3 from me. If the latter then does run I will
consider eating my hat.

Indeed.

The Support person of which software/company ? Did you ask for the reason too ?

Hans.

Dear Hans,

Sorry, forget to mention that I began my project as a New Web Server
Application, under Standard alone executable CGI. I am using WebModules
components.

Regards,

Lua KT.

Never heard of "New Web Server".

But ... ? Does helloword.exe run ?

Hans.

Your program is compiled and run successfully.

The problem is with the project created under New Web Server Application.
Please take these steps:

1. start BCB6
2. select File|New|Other
3. click Web Server Application
4. select cgi standalone executivable

and continue to create CGI program using TWebModule components as guided by
IDE.
