Execute Permissions Need to be Given to NetObjects BBS\cgi-bin\ folder using Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0.

The administrator of the IIS 4.0 webserver is the only person who can assign execute permissions to specific directories. As a result, you can't set the execute bit like you can by using the UNIX chmod command.

If you are the administrator of the IIS 4.0 webserver, perform the following steps:

1. Open the Microsoft Management Console
2. Select the folder where you've published the site
3. Expand tree until the cgi directory is exposed
4. Right-Click on the cgi directory and select Properties
5. Change the execute permission from "Scripts" to "Execute (Including Scripts)"
