Linux to NT Open()

[darinlang]

I have a simple script that I can't get to work on NT, it works fine on Linux, and Unix. Any idea why? The file exists in the same directory as the script, permissions are set to full-access, but it will not open the file.

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
open CONF_VIP, "VIP.txt"
      or die "Can't open config.txt. $!\n";
$vip = <CONF_VIP>;
print "VIP is $vip\n";

The file exists in the same directory as the script, permissions are set to full-access, but it will not open the file.

For developement purposes only, add use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); to the top of your script. You should then see the error message (though note that you have the wrong filename in the die string).

Hi,
I guess your Webserver is not looking for your vip.txt-file in the same directory as your scripts is stored (probably \cgi-bin) but in the root-dir of the webpages (maybe \wwwroot).
Try moving it there.

update: ... by the way: you get printed just the first line of the file (maybe you want @vip instead of $vip).
