This is what the text looked like when I had calender script working in the past.
_id=679773281656
name=Administrator Account
_dir=c:\inetpub\wwwroot\/calendarscript/session/
_expires=180
calendar=default
username=Administrator

Now, the session script file looks like
_id=810155025800
_dir=C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/calendarscript/session/
_expires=180

I have the calendar.pl and calendar_admin.pl at C:/inetpub/scripts/ and
C:/inetpub/wwwroot/ and
C:/Program Files/calendarscript directories.

This is the path in the files
$BASE_DIR = "C:/Program Files/calendarscript/";
I have even tried C:/inetpub/scripts path in the files.
When I used the path C:/inetpub/scripts/calendarscript/ I still got could not open either the admin or the calender application. Debug.pl only tell me that javascript is not enabled. I have IE and I have made sure that it is enabled.

The way I test it is \\134.139.175.11\scripts\calendar.pl or calendar_admin.pl.

problem is I am unable to run the application. it run the scripts but does not open the application. I also see session entries. I have given everyone full control on all the important directories

What am I doing wrong? Is the path wrong in my file wrong? Please help. I changed the $Base_dir manually to the above mentioned paths

** The way I test it is \\134.139.175.11\scripts\calendar.pl **

You should be using forward slashes. Eg.
http://134.139.175.11/scripts/calendar.pl

I have no idea if that has anything to do with it.

** _dir=c:\inetpub\wwwroot\/calendarscript/session/ **

That is definitely not right. The second one looks correct but as though the user hasn't logged in yet hence the lack of a name= and username= variables.

** This is the path in the files
$BASE_DIR = "C:/Program Files/calendarscript/"; *

Going by the session variables, that line should probably be more like

$BASE_DIR = "C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/calendarscript/";

** I have the calendar.pl and calendar_admin.pl at C:/inetpub/scripts/ and
C:/inetpub/wwwroot/ and
C:/Program Files/calendarscript directories. **

Why    

** it run the scripts but does not open the application. **

I don't know what that means.

Thanks Dan for your reply. I really appreciate it.
I was basically trying to put the calender.pl and calendar_admin.pl files in different locations and trying to figure out if it would work or not.

When i extracted the files, it installed at the usual C:/Program Files/Calendarscript location. I also changed the $Base variable to match where the files are installed. In other words, I am aware that what the Base variable does. Then I copied the entire calendearscript directory at the C:/Inetpub/Scripts/Calendarscript directory. I left the two calender files in the Scripts directory. I also made the appropriate change to the debug.pl file and ran it. It keep on giving me the JavaScript not being enabled error. I have shared the scripts folder. Does that make any difference?

When I try to test the files from a workstation, it gives me the list of programs to open with. So basically it is finding the files and running the scripts but I am not sure why is the application not running?

Know I know that the server has to be able to execute cgi scripts. Any suggestions about how I can enable cgi execution on a Win 2k server?

Thank you sir.

** Any suggestions about how I can enable cgi execution on a Win 2k server? **

Sorry, I don't do Windows. I would think you'll either need to have web server software running and accessing it via that or some later Windows operating systems have what I've heard to be called a "console" for running CGI scripts. I'm not at all familiar with the latter.

Good luck.

Are you actually running a web server on the server? If you're accessing it like \\ip\etc, then you're trying to run it via UNC, not through a web server. That will be the source of your problem.

You _must_ be running a web server, and you need to access the scripts via http://...

What you're doing is basically opening up the .pl file as if you double-clicked on it, so it runs in using your perl interpretter in a popup DOS window, then closes.

**The server is a Web Server and I am testing is as http://....I  also posted another more detailed message today. Do I need to install at C:/inetpub/cgi-bin location or it does not matter?

** Do I need to install at C:/inetpub/cgi-bin location or it does not matter? **

That depends on the way the web server was set up. In come cases, yes. Check with the system administrator.

You'll have to make sure that the associations are configured in the web server. Whether that's IIS or Apache, both need to be told how to handle .pl and/or .cgi files.

Either check with the system admin to see if this has been done, or check with the appropriate docs on how to do it.

Thanks Dan for your continued help.
Toby, what do mean by check the associations are configured on the web server?

IT WORKED. UNDER INTERNET SERVICES MANAGER, I CHECKED THE IP ADDRESS OF MY SERVER, IT WAS INCORRECT, CHANGED IT AND IT WORKED. EVERYTHING WAS CONFIGURED CORRECTLY.

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP.
