This guide explains how to setup Windows Server 2003 in order to use Denbun.
When you install Windows Server 2003, if you configure the application server, Internet Information Server 6.0 is installed.
In the default settings of Internet Information Server 6.0, executing CGI program is restricted and no directory for CGI programs provided. Therefore, you have to configure the environment for executing CGI programs.
This guide shows you minimum settings in order to use Denbun. Please setup and configure your server according to your security policy.
