hi.
i installed and run from the browser calender.pl and calender_admin.pl. Everything is perfect! BUT. when i click on any of the date, month, etc., [just any link clickable,] a window will come out and say if I want to save the file "calender.pl" [if i'm running calender.pl]. It's something like when u click on your favorite website to download file and a window will always pop out to ask u if u want to open the file from the location or save the file to disk.

I dont know what's up with this error. Anyone could please?  I'm running Apache server on win2000. My browser is IE 5.0.

Thank you!!

Could you give an example URL?

i dont have url since i'm running my apache server on the localhost at home. i've tried doing the same thing on the PC in my company and there was no such problem. I wonder is there anything to do with IE 5? The only difference between my PC at home and work is I've IE 5.0 at home and IE 5.5 at work. What should I try?

Here's something to check.  Click on My Computer, then Tools in the menu, then Folder Options.  Click on the File Types tab, and scroll down to the PL extension.  Click it, then click the Advanced button.  Make sure that the "Confirm Open after Download" checkbox is not checked.  Note: these instructions are for XP, but I think it's about the same for Win2k.

Hi thanks. I checked what you said about my computer etc. Still the problem exists. I tried using a second computer connected to my apache server. This time I didnt get the window that ask you to "save the file to disk or open the file from it's current location" etc. Instead, I get an error page on my browser that says cannot find server on it's title and wrote "The page cannot be displayed" error.
What is going on? This is really driving me nuts. Please help me.

I've one more piece of infomation to add.
When I click on any one of those clickable link (dates/month, day, etc.), the address shown on my browser change to "d:\program files\apache group\apache\cgi-bin\calendar.pl". It should remain as something like www.xxx.com/cgi-bin/calendar.pl.
What shoudl I try now?!??? Thank you!!

Are you using localhost to view your calendar?  If so try viewing it from your ip address instead and see what happens.  If you used localhost to view the setup screens, that could have caused it to set up incorrectly.  For that matter, have you run calendar_admin.pl and gone through all 3 screens of the setup wizard?  If you have then your path was probably set up incorrectly.  To change it to the correct path, look in calendarscript/config.txt, make sure that calendar_admin_url and calendar_url have the correct web path to those two files (the http:// address).

Try those and let me know what happens.

I checked my path and found that something is wrong with the path. After I got them set up, everything runs! Thank you very much. I'm going to test drive it this week!

I have a similar problem, When i run this it asks me to download the file etc.

Reading the Documentation it shows the requierments. I think they are all met, but im unsure. Blueyonder support is crap at the best of times but I found this website.

Did you check that your permissions were set to 755 and that you uploaded in ASCII (not Auto)?

I got it working!

Apache2 for win32 with ActivePerl was prompting me to download .pl when I tried putting quotes around my shebang.  Having spaces in the path didn't help either:

#!"c:/PROGRAM FILES/PERL/BIN/PERL.EXE" ## 500 Internal Server Error
#!C:/PROGRAM FILES/PERL/BIN/PERL.EXE ## 500 Internal Server Error
#!C:/PROGRA~1/PERL/BIN/PERL.EXE ## works!

Oddly, lower case doesn't work either:
#!c:/progra_1/perl/bin/perl.exe ## 500 Internal Server Error

[Hamhead]

Hmm nevermind.  Lower case works.  I had a persistent typo!

#!c:/progra~1/perl/bin/perl.exe ## works!
