Dear Scriptcase,
I wasn’t sure exactly if I should put this in Suggestion/Bug or General forum. I had some issues re-installing Scriptcase, but figured it out. I wanted to share this note about FastCGI on Windows 64Bit for Apache Server. I thought that adding a check during the installation process would be a BIG help. Explanation follows:
Recently I had some issues relating to a bug on my development system which necessitated a re-installation of the MySQL software I was using and Scriptcase.
I backed EVERYTHING up first. The DBs and Scriptcase projects.
I re-installed Scriptcase FIRST and noticed that I received an error indicating that Apache did not start. I traced down the issue to FastCGI. I did some checking and as it turns out FastCGI does not recognize folders with a space. Evan when you add a " on either side of the path according to some troubleshooting tips regarding installing FastCGI on Windows.
So I again un-installed Scriptcase. Now this time around I made sure that any Folder had NO space in it. If you do want a Folder with a space then you MUST use the 8.3 format of the folder name. That would contain “`1”, etc.
So in my case I used “D:\Development\NetMake/V9”… Now Scriptcase comes up just fine.
So if the Scriptcase team could add a routine that checks the Folders in the installation path and makes mention of this to the user/installer. This would alleviate a lot of re-install headaches.
