[Sputnik-list] Running sputnik on Windows

[Xu Wang]

I'm just thinking is it possible we don't touch the Kepler/CGIlua
configuration files. but just make sputnik.lua a normal cgi script,
and running it using something like

http://localhost:8080/sputnik.lua?...

I guess it will be easier to install the wiki as a normal cgi, and in
this way we get the benefit of having other application in the Kepler
web directory functional as normal.

Is it possible?

Regards,
xu
