Problem: CGI programs are installed but not responding on Windows using IIS
This article applies to all CGI applications.
Last Updated: 11 June 2015
Problem
The CGI program is installed on a Windows web site, but the CGI application doesn't appear
to be responding even though IIS is running. The browser may offer to download the
CGI program file instead of executing it.
Details
CGI applications require that CGI scripting be properly enabled on the web server. Versions of IIS starting with 6.0 on Windows Server 2003 have new
restrictions on applications that require additional configuration steps to enable CGI programs. By default, any
new CGI program must have an Application Extension Mapping defined for its executable in the website properties,
AND it must be added to the Web Service Extension Restriction List (WSERL) before it will be executed by IIS.
