SERVER
The basic BBS requirements on the server are as follows:
- If you're publishing to a Unix file server, Perl5 must be installed and functioning. If you're publishing to Windows NT, Perl5 may or may not be installed. The BBS will function in either environment.
- The web server must be able to execute scripts with an extension of 'cgi'.
- The web server must be able to execute cgi scripts from user-defined cgi-bin directories.
- The server should not implement proprietary schemes for executing cgi scripts. An example of this would be a CGI (Perl) wrap where user scripts are included into a master script before script execution.
The BBS has been tested with the following UNIX web servers:
- Netscape FastTrack 2.0 (Solaris)
- Netscape Enterprise 2.0 (Solaris)
- Apache (Linux)
- The BBS has been tested with the following Windows NT web servers:
- Netscape FastTrack 2.0 (NT 4.0)
- Netscape Enterprise 2.0 (NT 4.0)
- IIS 2.0/3.0 (NT 4.0)
CLIENT
The BBS requires a JavaScript compliant (Netscape JavaScript standard) browser.
The BBS has been tested with the following browsers:
- Netscape 3.0 (for NT/Win 95/Mac/Sun)
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 and 3.02 (for NT/Win95) with script patch and debugger patch. See Browser Support for JavaScript in this document for the URLs to these patches.
RESTRICTIONS
Only one BBS is permitted per NetObjects Fusion NOD file.
- You cannot test the BBS by previewing in NetObjects Fusion. You must stage or publish your site to a web server, then access your site via a URL.
