| Volker 6-Jan-2006 [455] | thanks |
| Sunanda 6-Jan-2006 [456] | Of, if you meant the background rather than font color:
pre {background-color: yellow}
|
| Volker 6-Jan-2006 [457] | No, hmm, maybe both :) |
| Oldes 1-Mar-2006 [458] | what if I have Rebol cgi script in folder /cgi-bin/ and want to write to folder /public/ which is out of the sendbox. How to do it? |
| Volker 1-Mar-2006 [459x2] | #!/rebol -s |
#!/rebol -sc of course. the -s swiches sandbox of. i then usually do a secure to my own folder first in the cgi. | |

| Louis 8-May-2006 [462] | I am running XP on my local computer. Out web host's server is running Red Hat Linux. Which version of core should I use on the host server to run the cgi scripts? If I download the proper Linux core interpreter to my XP computer, and uncompress it using WinZip, will it be corrupted by XP? How do I get a clean version of core to the Linux server? |
| Graham 8-May-2006 [463] | ftp |
| Louis 8-May-2006 [464x3] | Hi Graham, I am, of course, using ftp. I'm sending core 042 for Red Hat to the server using binary mode. |
The script using text mode. | |
Both files are set to 755. | |
| Sunanda 8-May-2006 [467] | <<Which version of core should I use>> Use the most recent Core version that is supported on Red Hat and XP. That way. you'll hit the least code incompatibilites when testing locally |
| Louis 8-May-2006 [468x2] | But testing using http returns an error saying that rebol is not in the cgi-bin directory where it in fact is. |
500 Server Error A misconfiguration on the server caused a hiccup. Check the server logs, fix the problem, then try again. URL: http://www.dayspringpublisher.com/cgi-bin/now.cgi /home/daysprin/public_html/cgi-bin/now.cgi: Invalid shebang /dayspringpublisher.com/cgi-bin/rebol: Does not exist! | |
| Sunanda 8-May-2006 [470] | Sounds like either: -- your script does not start wityh a shebang -- it does, but the rebol.exe it points to is not there -- you don;t have teh right line endings |
| Louis 8-May-2006 [471x2] | #!/dayspringpublisher.com/cgi-bin/rebol -cs REBOL [Title: "Hi"] print "content-type: text/html^/" print [<HTML><BODY>] print ["Hi"] print [</BODY></HTML>] |
Does that shebang look right? | |
| Graham 8-May-2006 [473] | no, it is not correct |
| Sunanda 8-May-2006 [474x2] | ?? should be be rebol.exe at the end? ?? try an absolute path |
as you don't know for sure where the webserver is starting from | |
| Louis 8-May-2006 [476] | exe on Linux? |
| Graham 8-May-2006 [477x2] | try #!/home/daysprin/public_html/cgi-bin/rebol -cs |
or check the shebang for any perl scripts you have in your cgi-bin directory to see what it should be. | |
| Sunanda 8-May-2006 [479] | okay, forget my fisrt one :-) |
| Graham 8-May-2006 [480] | the perl scripts may point to a common perl interpreter so may not help you either. |
| Louis 8-May-2006 [481x2] | Graham, that worked! Thanks!. Why did you use daysprin instead of dayspringpublisher.com? |
Thanks also to Sunanada. | |
| Graham 8-May-2006 [483x2] | shebangs only refer to the local filing system. They know nothing of web servers which are virtual paths for the web server which is an application. |
And your web server reported the actual path in the 500 server error message. | |
| Louis 8-May-2006 [485x3] | It sure did. I didn't notice that. I will have to start paying better attention to what is before my eyes. Thanks again! |
OK, now that cgi is working, I want to make a form that will allow people to give their name and email address to be saved in a rebol db file on the server for me to download at my convenience. Has anyone already done this so that I don't have to reinvent the wheel? | |
Of course, I need the cgi scrpt for this also. | |
| Louis 10-May-2006 [488x3] | What is wrong with this script?
#!/home/daysprin/public_html/cgi-bin/rebol -cs
REBOL []
print "Content-type: text/html^/"

read-cgi: func [

|
It writes the date and remote-add to the file, but does not write cgi-data to the file. What is wrong? | |
No, I was wrong. It does work. :>) | |
| Janeks 11-Aug-2006 [491] | I am trying for first time to setup rebol for cgi on remote Apache web server on Linux. I am working from WinXP Site management is done with EnsimPro. Ftp does not yet working. So what is done up to now: Uploaded file Rebol from rebol-core-2602042.tar package for Linux to cgi-bin directory; Set permisions to owner read, write, execute and for group and others to read, execute; Test script -> write file read file, Test script uploaded (throught web broeser by using EnsimPro web interface) test script: #!/var/www/cgi-bin/rebol -cs REBOL [Title: "CGI Basics"] print ["Content-type: text/html" newline] print "Hello!!!" to cgi-bin directory; Set the same permisions. Pointing to the test file I am getting "500 Internal server errror" What else could be wrong? Interesting that I have interpreters directory on this web server where are couple files regarding php and perl. Could it be connected with my problem? |
| Pekr 11-Aug-2006 [492x2] | hi, just playing with cgi too .... your cgi-bin directory seems ok having 755 rights .... |
when I upload my script, I don't feed it with full path, just !#rebol -cs, if the interpreter is from the same directory .... | |
| Janeks 11-Aug-2006 [494] | It does not help! |
| Pekr 11-Aug-2006 [495] | what is your precise mask for script itself? Try giving it 777 for a while, to see, if it is permission problem or not ... try to print newline at the end of the script ... |
| Janeks 11-Aug-2006 [496] | Is it o' k that it is just rebol file from linux package and that I extracted it on WinXp then uploaded? What you meant under "mask"? |
| Pekr 11-Aug-2006 [497x5] | btw - always build your resulting string first out: copy "" ... and then everything append out stuff-you-want-to-add .... print out at the end ... it is MUCH faster to print everything at once, then to print incrementally to the client ... |
permissions - xwr-xwr-xwr = 777 | |
uploading should be ok .... | |
what is your script suffix? | |
if it is .r, try to change it to .cgi for a while | |
| Janeks 11-Aug-2006 [502] | Already tried! |
| Pekr 11-Aug-2006 [503] | does any other, etc. pl or shell script work i cgi directory .... |
