newbie help

[1/4] from: txiki:hotm:ail at: 20-Sep-2000 13:30

Hi. I'm using Rebol on a website and am trying to print something to a page that processes a form and sends a couple emails, with print "Location: http://bla" but all I get is a white screen with REBOL printed there. Can someone help? Thanks, [txiki--hotmail--com] _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Hi txiki, I assume that your script is running as a CGI script. I don't know what you're doing right, so here is a minimal set of rules: 1. If you're website is unix (linux) based, and/or you're running Apache as a webserver (even on MS Windows), then your first line must contain the bang character followed by the complete path to REBOL. Example: #!/usr/bin/rebol -cs REBOL [] 2. Before you print some content you must first indicate the content type followed by two newlines. Example: print [ "Content-Type: text/html^/^/" <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE> "Example" </TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> "Location: http://bla" </BODY> </HTML> ] This should work.

I'm doing these things. I get this as the source for the resulting page in my webbrowser: REBOL <options> <script> <arguments> All fields are optional. Supported options are: --cgi (-c) Check for CGI input --do expr Evaluate expression --help (-?) Display this usage information --nowindow (-w) Do not open a window --quiet (-q) Don't print banners --script file Explicitly specify script --secure level Set security level: (none write read throw quit) -s Shortcut: no security +s Shortcut: full security --trace (-t) Enable trace mode Examples: REBOL script.r REBOL script.r 10:30 [test--domain--dom] REBOL script.r -do "verbose: true" REBOL --cgi -s REBOL --cgi -secure throw --script cgi.r "debug: true" REBOL --secure none Content-type: text/html ** User Error: Server error: tcp 550 Addressee unknown. ** Where: insert port reduce data This give you any more clues?

Hi txiki, could you include 1. The exact bang line you use (copied from your REBOL script file and pasted into the email)? 2. Which OS is the server running on? 3. Which server are you using? ;- Elan [ : - ) ] author of REBOL: THE OFFICIAL GUIDE REBOL Press: The Official Source for REBOL Books http://www.REBOLpress.com visit me at http://www.TechScribe.com
