Debugging on Windows with IIS

Hello,

I am new to this forum and if is wrong to post my question here, please
let me know where it should be posted. Thank you. The problem:

I am trying to use the debugging functionality of EPIC on an Windows installation
with IIS.
My configuration:
-> Win XP SP2
-> ActivePerl 5.8.8 Build 819
-> Ecplipse 3.3.0
-> EPIC 0.5.33
-> Application to debug: cgi-application OTRS 2.2.3

I have set up a Perl CGI debug configuration in Eclipse with:
HTML Root directory:   C:\Inetpub\OTRS\otrs-2.2.3\bin\cgi-bin
HTML Startup File:     C:\Inetpub\OTRS\otrs-2.2.3\bin\cgi-bin\index.pl
CGI Root directory:    C:\Inetpub\OTRS\otrs-2.2.3\bin\cgi-bin

When start the debugger I get the following Console output:

Found default config file
Server started on 5007
LOG: 5 5007-server: main.: starting handler: cgi
LOG: 5 5007-server: main.: starting handler: file

For sure there is no
C:\Inetpub\OTRS\otrs-2.2.3\bin\cgi-bin\index.html
It should be 
C:\Inetpub\OTRS\otrs-2.2.3\bin\cgi-bin\index.pl
as configured.

So I am a little bit of stuck with the configuration. Any help is appreciated.

Please try using / instead of \ in the CGI configuration paths and see if
it changes anything.

Hello Jan,

thank for your reply.
I have changed the \ in the config to / but the result is the same

Here are some more things to try:
1) get rid of the c: from the paths, just specify the absolute path with
slashes
2) check that you don't have spaces or any other weird characters in the
paths
3) enter the url http://localhost:5004/index.pl directly in the browser
and see what happens
4) some other script name different than index.pl
5) trailing slashes in directory names in the launch configuration

Basically, the line

LOG: 5 5004-127.0.0.1-0: suffix=.cgi,.pl root=C:/Inetpub/OTRS/otrs-2.2.3/bin/cgi-bin
url: / 

from your log should read

LOG: 5 5004-127.0.0.1-0: suffix=.cgi,.pl root=C:/Inetpub/OTRS/otrs-2.2.3/bin/cgi-bin
url: /index.pl

All lines that appear thereafter are irrelevant.
