World: r3wp

I should move this back to Linux probably

Pekr, rebpro doesn't behave differently than the other kernels in 
the SDK - which are rebbase and rebface - it just behaves differently 
than the prepackaged interpreters.

anyone know how I can start cheyenne automatically ?
this is what I am doing currently on Ubuntu

I'm typing the start up commands

I had this setup on one server. You have to play with etc/init.d 
folders .. I currently also don't have it setup that way because 
I had some problems then and one guy showed me some simpler way. 
(but I can't remember it right now, I can ask him tomorrow)

ok

with init.d you have multiple files for different stages of startup 
and shutdown process so it's a little complicated.. the guy (he was 
on ubuntu showed me just one file where you add cli commands and 
that's it)

Graham, which version of Ubuntu are you using? The newest version 
of Ubuntu doesn't use the /etc/init.d system anymore, it uses upstart 
instead: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/getting-started.html.Much easier 
but less powerful (but maybe enough for you) is editing the /etc/rc.local 
file. That just starts an app after booting, it doesn't allow you 
to restart or stop it with a command. Just put the command to start 
up cheyenne on a line between "# By default this script does nothing." 
and "exit 0"

Even better though would be if you wrote a small demon script in 
rebol or bash or whatever you like, that gets started by rc.local 
instead of directly starting cheyenne. This demon would check all 
running tasks every 60 seconds and see if cheyenne is still running, 
otherwise restart it. This way, if cheyenne should crash, it is automatically 
restarted.

I think there are some applications that do this.. can't remember 
their names right now

It's not my server .. .I just told them to install ubuntu server 
32 bit

I'll have a look .. but I'm having issues now starting cheyenne. 
 I'm using the latest binary from doc but it just stops

I have to run cheyenne.r to allow it to create a cache.efs file and 
then I can run the binary

ie. I use rebol core and use the source version

going to try the rc.local

Doesn't seem to be predictable ...

Is there a simple file upload script demo .... ?

Hmm.. Cheyenne is not handling HEAD correctly

my error .. I'm using an old version of Cheyenne

Mine is Server: "Cheyenne/0.9.18"

Guess the error is fixed now...

Upgraded to Server: "Cheyenne/0.9.19" but bug is still present.

this is with 9.19

this is for a non existent file

I wonder if the custom 404 handler is causing this.

Doc, any explanation as to why it can be so hard to start Cheyenne? 
 I think it is to do with the .cache.efs file

There is upload demo... check upload.html and upload.rsp files

The problems with start: check log files. Run cheyenne in debug mode 
like:  ./cheyenne -vvvv

It never gets as far as creating the pid-log files

the process just terminates

as for upload ... I used something I found that I wrote a few years 
ago :)

doc, you should focus your development on nodejs, or look at event 
driven Cheyenne version

Anyone benchmarked Cheyenne vs nodejs ?  Both are event driven.

Here's a small bug fix for Cheyenne

In HTTPd.r in make-tmp-filename:

not exists? incoming-dir/out

should be

not exists? incoming-dir/:out

This bug is unlikely to trigger, but when it does, it mixes up received 
data

I guess it's like the semicolon bug that made a space probe miss 
Jupiter by 100,000 km :-)

Cheyenne doesn't seem to load its MIME definitions from the standard 
location on Unix systems, %/etc/mime.types, loading an internal list 
%misc/mime.types instead

Is there a reason for this? The list on most Unix systems and Syllable 
Server is much more comprehensive

Could it look for the standard list first, and then fall back to 
the internal list when it doesn't find it?

From earlier messages here, it was my understanding that Cheyenne 
on Linux can run its UniServe taskmaster processes under a non-root 
user account by enabling 'userdir in the modules and 'user and 'group 
in the globals

However, when I do that, all of Cheyenne is still running as root

The designated user and group exist. What else do I need to do?

Here's a nice key-value store... Redis  http://code.google.com/p/redis/

(posting here.. wouldn't hurt to have a Cheyenne module for accessing 
this piece of art)

Spent the last couple of days grokking Redis.. you owe it to yourself 
to take a long look.
