The SST routines depend on the presence of a readygo or a file rdgo.dat in the directory where they execute. With IIS, occasionally, the files residing in the scripts folder do not execute there.
To find out where they execute, open the IIS control panel, and view the properties for the scrpts folder.
The operations location for the scripts folder files is shown in the figure.
- If you create a new scripts or cgi-bin folder, be sure to place it directly under the inetpub folder. If it is in another folder or in another sub-folder, the SST routines will execute outside the folder where they physically reside.
- Windows XP Service Pack 3 has an option for the file system to be NTFS, but with simple sharing turned on. Unfortunately, IIS does not handle the privileges correctly. The user will receive errors about the course not being configured correctly, or the system will warn that it is unable to open the registration file for the course. In these cases it is necessary to go to Windows Explorer, select the menu "Tools" | "Folder Options" | "View" tab. Then de-select the "Simpe File Sharing (recommended)" option. The Security tab will now be available for the \inetpub\scripts\readygo folder, and it will be possible to enable full control for the Internet Guest Account and for the individual FTP acount names that are given access to upload courses.
