Overview: I am moving a web site from iis6 (server 2003) to iis7 (server 2008R2). The site works like this...
Someone accesses a web page and makes selections/entries on a form. That data is sent to an .exe. Below is the form actions statement and the results from the IIS logs.
Name Search
File Number (without the '-') Search
Filings past 30 days
Web Filing Temporary Number Search
Name or File Number:
IISLOG Results
2010-10-06 14:50:02 192.168.10.63 POST /cgi-shl/nhayer.exe - 80 - 192.168.10.63 Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+8.0;+Windows+NT+6.1;+WOW64;+Trident/4.0;+SLCC2;+.NET+CLR+2.0.50727) 200 0 0 31
Based on the IIS Logs, it appears that nhayer.exe is successfully receiving the post.
Nhayer.exe is supposed to then pass the values to a foxpro program that is running on the machine, however Nhayer.exe returns the down for maintenance message that indicates to me that it does not know that the program is running.
NOTE: nhayer.exe and Visual Fox Pro 6 are not installed as in Running setup.exe but are simply copied to a directory on the server. Both programs appear to run with any problems. Maybe something needs to be done in Win2008 so the programs are visible/known by other programs?
I think I am missing something in my web site setup, but have no idea what it could be. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks --Joe
