Very cool Oldes! Thanks a lot! (and cool galery on that page)

Here is newer version - http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rebol/imagick-min.r

in this version you can see crop-images function

If I have a domain like rebol.com, how do I make it so that a.rebol.com 
b.rebol.com etc ... work so that a.rebol.com etc appears in the browser 
address bar.  
What I want to do is create virtual domains ....

there is an example of a virtual domain setup in the config file 
provided in cheyenne.

(its commented out IIRC)

I know how to setup httpd.cfg .. just unclear as to how I get the 
domain

eg. abc.rebol.com is not found

well the browser needs to request it.  or you need to redirect to 
it.

If I setup a subdomain abc.rebol.com, I can redirect it to a page 
on rebol.com but the address bar changes

so if I setup the subdomain to point to www.rebol.com/abc/index.html 
.. then that's what shows.  I want it to display abc.rebol.com/index.html

ah... you can setup all subdomains to use the same root dirs, but 
then the domain name is different in your request object.

but if you are only serving static pages, its not an issue.

if you are doing cgi or rsp,, then just be mindfull that several 
domains share the same root.

Ah... I think I want domain forwarding with masking

Godaddy allows you to create up to 99 subdomains for each domain, 
and if I choose forwarding with masking, then the browser redirects 
but the address bar remains unchanged

now hopefully I can use this to create virtual domains in Cheyenne

First of all you must add DNS A records to point to your IP adress. 
And then setup your server (Cheyenne, Apache, Nginx..) to resolve 
the full subdomain.domain names.

Don't do forwarding.

thanks .. that what I just discovered too.

I think you want multiple subdomains, one for each user, and you 
can simplify that by defining one catch-all IP number in DNS. Then 
define all the virtual hosts in Cheyenne. You do have to add every 
subdomain to Cheyenne, but this way you don't have to maintain DNS 
for each

Not sure if GoDaddy allows a catch-all, though, if it has a limit 
of 99

u can have a catch all on godaddy, i 's a onliner 8-)

if u want something nicer, multicast dns, and a superfast and well 
thought out control panel, check out dnsmadeeasy.com

What's the oneliner?  Defining the sub domains as DNS A records doesn't 
work ....

Ah... I see it now.  If you add a A record of "*", it should direct 
everything to the stipulated IP address

right on 8-)

Since Cheyenne can not run as a service under Win32, what are people 
using to restart Cheyenne after a reboot of the OS?

The encapped version of Cheyenne can run as a service

I should try again ... encapped with encmdview doesn't work ... but 
I see that doc has said that enpro should work ...

I used encmd

I used encmd now ... but it still appears in the system tray.  I 
right click on the system tray icon, and use "run as a service" and 
then it stops running

and disappears from the running processes

hmm.. crash log says it is trying to run 'alert
3-Aug-2010/21:08:06+12:00 : make object! [

    type: 'script

            ]
        ]
    ]
    where: 'alert
]

not tested, but if you want to start something on windows start up, 
just add link into this folder> C:\Documents and Settings\<%your-user-name%>\Start 
Menu\Programs\Startup   (if you have english windows) The folder 
names are localized so it will look different in other languages)

This is for windows 2003 .. I suspect that the user needs to login 
for startup links to work?

Found this in misc/service.r


; TBD: replace alert function by a call to MessageBox win32 API (would 
work with both Core&View)
alert: func [msg /local svs][
	svs: system/view/screen-face
	svs/pane: reduce [
		make face [
			offset: (system/view/screen-face/size - 200x50) / 2
			size: 400x100
			pane: make face [
				size: 380x80
				offset: 0x24
				text: msg
			]
		]
	]
	show svs
	open-events
	wait []
	clear svs/pane
	show svs
]

So, looks like doc hasn't got round to replacing this code which 
is called later on by this


alert "ERROR : installing a service requires Administrator rights!"

ok, so get it running as a service you need to run as administrator 
first, and then use the "run as service" menu

Well, I get the "congratulations you're running Cheyenne" page .. 
but nothing else is working

ie. the cgi, rsp and rsp web app are not

I wonder how slow it might be to use a coding style where each page 
is represented by a Rebol object, and to display the page back to 
the browser client, you have a render function that iteractively 
calls the render function of each element of the object.  the object 
initializes by reading the session and request objects when it is 
first instantiated

is there any work about running encrypted rsp pages on cheyenne? 
just like zend encoder for php?

what's an encrypted page?

The performance of an object compositing system would depend mostly 
on how each object performs in delivering its rendering. If each 
object is fast enough, the composition is doable

This who process could be controlled by a VID dialect that creates 
the object that then generates the page

Yep

My web framework works along those lines, but it doesn't use objects 
in that place

I'd imagine it could be quite the killer app .. a dialect that generates 
a web page for you switching between YUI, jQuery or whatever JS framework

That's more in the direction of Weblocks
