Well guys a need a fresh set of eyes on this because I cannot get it to work. Here is what I have done so far;

1) Install Perl (http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/)

2) Install Aspell (http://aspell.net/win32/)

3) Create you IIS web site via the Microsoft Management Console

- right click your web site and select "Properties"
- select the "Home Directory" tab
- choose your "Local Path"
- in the "Application Settings" box, select "Configuration"
- select the "Mappings" tab
- make sure the extension ".cgi" is mapped to the Perl executable
"C:\perl\bin\perl.exe %s" (replace path as necessary)
- create a directory under your "Local Path" called cgi-bin and place
BBCorrectorServer.cgi there
- execute the following two commands:
adsutil.vbs SET w3svc/CreateCGIWithNewConsole "1"
adsutil.vbs SET w3svc/CreateProcessAsUser "0"
I found "adsutil.vbs" under C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts. Your mileage may vary but these
two commands MUST be run.
- restart your web site

4) Modify BBCorrectorServer.cgi to reflect your system configuration

- change perl executable path. Example:
#!d:/perl/bin/perl
- change path to aspell executable. Example:
my $cmdAspellExe = "\"D:/Program Files/Aspell/bin/aspell\"";

After visiting the original thread here I am confused as to what the settings should be;
http://www.pdastreet.com/forums/show...pagenumbe r=5

"C:\perl\bin\perl.exe %s" or C:\perl\bin\perl.exe "%s" %s

my $cmdAspellExe = "\"C:/Program Files/Aspell/bin/aspell\""; or

my $cmdAspellExe = "\"C:\\Program Files\\Aspell\\bin\\aspell\"";

Aspell install location;
C:\Program Files\Aspell\bin

Perl install location;
C:\Perl\bin

I keep getting BBCorrector Error HTTP response code 404.

404 means page not found. If you open internet explorer and browse to http://yourserver/yourpath/BBCorrectorServer.cgi what happens? Do you get a 404 error?

If you just get a blank page, this should mean that the path is set up correctly and viewable by your local computer. If you browse to http://yourserver/yourpath/BBCorrectorServer.cgi from a computer not on your local network what happens? Is your server reachable from the internet? Did you open your firewall/router and forward the correct ports?

Did you set BBCorrector on your blackberry to point to http://yourserver/yourpath/BBCorrectorServer.cgi ?

Yes but only to the cgi file extension. TXT and ZIP work fine.

Same behavior cgi extension does not work but the others do.

Yes open to the internet.

Yep

The first thing I would check is make sure that all your caps and lowercase are correct. I don't work on Windows servers, but I know on Linux it makes a difference. If you put the BBCorrectorServer.cgi on your server as BBCorrectorServer.cgi but are typing the url as http://yourserver/yourpath/BBcorrectorserver.cgi it won't find it and you'll get a 404 error. Also make sure that the reference to the file in your script has the correct upper/lowercase. I've accidentally done that and not realized it and looked for the mistake for a long time.

Other than that ..... hmmmmmm

I feel stupid guys it was the web service extensions in IIS. CGI was set to prohibited so I set to allow and its working now.
