Thanks, and a few more questions

 [1/7] from: mike::prwebcast::com at: 21-Jun-2001 15:57


Hi, all. First off, I want to send a (much-overdue) thanks to everyone who helped me "convince" my hosting company to install Rebol (esp. Michal Kracik - thanks for the screen grabs). FWIW, I'm using Rebol to create web pages for my Palm (via AvantGo). Now my questions: 1) How would I get an entire site (not just specific cgi-bin pages) to run in Rebol? I'm coming from an IIS/ASP setup, where "xyz.asp" can be browsed to, and "index.asp" is the default for a subdirectory. Currently I can direct my browser to a specific ".r" file in my cgi-bin directory to execute a Rebol script, but if I place such a file anywhere else, my browser tries to download it. Is this maybe something I would need to have my provider configure? 2) I would like to automatically send email at a given date/time. Is rebcron.r what I need? How do I use it? My apologies if I've asked any RTFM-worthy questions. :-) Mike

Hi, Mike, What webserver? Apache, IIS, other? Will you want to use .r or some other extension (or no extension) in order to hide the language used? In Apache there are several approaches, depending on your needs. I have to punt on the second question. --Scott Jones

Yes, that would work. Examples are embedded in the script. Or you could use a third party service http://www.mailtothefuture.com which is also accessible via Soap. -- Graham Chiu

Okay, but I mean, how does it get used? Do I drop it in cgi-bin on my site and "browse" to it (one time, to get it running)? Or do I run it locally? I didn't mean to give the impression that I was looking for a walk-thru of how rebcron.r works, rather I'm unsure of the context in which it is executed. Mike

IIS at the moment. I suppose this could change in the future. (The reason I say this is because I have one site that uses ASP, and a different site (with a different provider) that, while using ASP, also allows me to use Rebol. But I haven't decided yet if I want to move my other site yet.)

Well, I hadn't thought about it - but from what you are saying, it sounds as if it is something my hosting provider would need to configure. (And, of course, I would have to let them know exactly what the heck that might be. :-) Mike

Unfortunately, I know more about Apache than IIS. Many Apache hosting installations allow more control by the user in a given directory. The user simply inserts a certain name of file in the directory for the desired changes, which allows one some clever ways to use directories on non-dedicated hosting services. Perhaps some IIS saavy person knows of some way to assist you. --Scott Jones

Just run it locally. That's what I do. If I ran it in cgi-bin, I could never get it stopped! -- Graham Chiu
