CGI2SAS

Software

CGI2SAS has been tested using the following :-

SAS v8.2
Python 2.2 (threaded)
Apache
Windows 2000 Pro

In theory CGI2SAS should work on both Unix and Windows with ease. The Python scripts were all written on, and partly tested using, Linux. Any feedback in running CGI2SAS using the following will be gratefully received :-

Unix
Other web servers (the cgi2sas.py cgi script)

Python
Python is a very powerful, open source, mature, high level scripting language. The Python website is located at http://www.python.org

You can download python from http://www.python.org/download/

Windows
Follow instructions on Python web site.

CGI2SAS also requires the Python Win32all API libraries which can be located at http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/win32/Downloads.html

Unix
Follow the install instructions on the Python web site. Note: threading MUST be supported / compiled in.

Apache
Apache can be obtained at http://www.apache.org

Follow the install instructions on the apache web site. The apache configuration requires support for CGI scripts. Mod Python is not required

IIS
Once Python and IIS have been installed IIS needs to be configured to run Python CGI scripts. You will find excellent instructions at http://www.e-coli.net/pyiis.html Using IIS you are restricted to using broker.py or cgi2sas.py. broker.exe cannot be used.
