[REBOL] Registry Entry For CGI - Windows XP
From: tim-johnsons::web::com at: 16-Feb-2005 12:32
I'm in a real bind here. I'm trying to do CGI programming on Windows XP,
testing with the windows version of apache, to be deployed
on a linux server, also using apache.
The Windows apache server on my machine is properly configured to ignore
the she-bang line (top line)
of a script. This should enable me to place
#!/usr/bin/rebol at the top line of a script and have it accepted by the
linux server.
This works for python, because the python setup program has written the
appropriate regestry
entries, but sadly (and in my opinion wrongly) rebol has no setup
process that does this.
And I'm getting "couldn't spawn child process" errors from apache.
On the other hand, if I disable the ScriptInterpreterSource directive,
then I have to resolve the
differences between #!rebol on windows and #!/usr/bin/rebol on linux,
which is what
my domain hoster wants, and *that* introduces greater possibilities of
error if one uploads
a script without changing the shebang line.
Please note: This is Windows XP *not* windows 98, apache *not* IIS. I'm
familiar with the
IIS/Windows 98 windows registry entries to enable this.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC \Parameters
does not have a ScriptMap key, and adding one doesn't help.
Has anyone got this working successfully?
thanks
tim
