I am having a problem getting the OJ script to run at all the first time. I have installed it on both apache and winnt iis with no success. Is there some special way that the script must be called the first time to set itself up that I missed in the instructions or something?

When I try to run the script on apache (at my isp), I get a premature end of headers message. Tried just about every derivation of permissions and setup on this....spent lots of time.

Set it up on IIS under WINNT. Basically got the same behavior when executing the script, tried going to DOS and running it direct from command line to figure out where it was barfing. I get an error message stating it must be called with a GET or POST request method. So I called it using these methods, neither produced anything. Finally went and setup the system environment variables in WINNT and hardcoded a REQUEST_METHOD=GET so the program would be happy. Now I see that it does produce the html for the first page. Tried it again...nothing. Redirected the HTML that it produced into a .htm file and tried to execute file, still nothing.

I bamboozeled, can someone help me out.

OK, I figured this out:
When running PERL on IIS, make sure that the PERL.EXE is setup with %s %s in the application configuration of Internet Services Manager.

Also noticed as a hint to everyone that if your default page is set to "default.htm", you should also setup OJ's main page as "default.htm" as well, index and default don't seem to work well together under IIS.
