Re: Client Access environments

Hi Ken,

Whoa! You're way ahead of me there. What's DCOMCNFG? Where would I change
the ASPAllowOutOfProcess metabase entry were I so inclined? Is it even
possible on IIS 3.0 (some of us can't afford to get too close to the
bleeding edge)?

For the moment at least, I've solved my particular problem by fiddling with
the registry (see earlier post). But I'll keep your potential solution in
mind.

BTW, how can I debug my VB CGI program when it's running in the IIS process
space? So far I've been using the ancient method of having the program log
certain data to a file, like use the RPG DEBUG or DSPLY op code.

Another problem is when the VB program gets an error while running under
IIS. It gets stuck as a separate task that the NT task manager won't let me
kill. Starting and stopping the Web Publishing service doesn't get rid of
it. Logging off and on doesn't get rid of it. I have to reboot to get rid of
it. Have you run into that little problem?

Sorry if this is getting a little off topic.

TIA,
