CGI Setup

[Chris Young-5]

I'm looking for some help setting up a RunRev CGI.

I have both a windows server and a linux server I
could use.
Which ever would be easier or work better.

But I'm not sure what to download and FTP to the
server.
Most places explain to download a file but the links
all point
to a RunRev Download that doesn't exist anymore.
Is there a serial number or License code needed for
this
server software?

Any help?

You need Jacque's wonderful CGI tutorial
<http://www.hyperactivesw.com/cgitutorial/index.html>.

Cheers,
Sarah

Thank you Sarah, I have seen that.
So if I want to use my Linux server, ( which is hosted
at GoDaddy.com )
Do I need to download the Linux version of RunRev,
 ( does it matter what version? )  and how do I put in
my
registration info?  Do I Have to have some type of
special
access to the server or will it run without needed
that info?

Sorry perhaps I'm missing something.. the instructions
on the site make it sound so simple.
Perhaps I'm just confused.

I can't really help you there. I have just used it locally on OS X
computer. I have just taken the engine from my registered copy of Rev
and not had to enter any new registration info. I would just find the
Linux engine and see what happens if you upload it.

Cheers,
Sarah

The engines can be downloaded from Rev's ftp site:

ftp://ftp.runrev.com/pub/revolution/downloads/engines/

For linux, there seems to be only one version.

As for your registration info, it is not required for running
the RunRev engine with cgi scripts.

I don't understand "special access" but...

Setting up Rev for cgi can be difficult -- Jacque's guide
is very useful -- but not because of Rev. Usually the
problem is either with one's own lack of experience
(eg, setting permissions) or, worse yet, the webhost
company. Myself, I had to switch webhost companies
when a RunRev-cgi setup I had had working perfectly for
years suddenly stopped when the webhost company did
"something" at their end. A tech-member of the company
and I exchanged emails for a while to try to resolve it,
but no go. So, I switched companies.

In other words, part of your learning curve for Rev+CGI
might be beyond your control. So, keep that in mind
when things don't seem to be working as easily as
they apparently ought to.

However, once you do get it working, Rev itself makes it
ofcourse quite simple.

Good luck.

Hello Chris,

Use your linux version. To install it follow the following steps. I
assume you're running 2.9.0

Step #1: Pick the Linux engine from inside
/2.9.0-gm-1/Runtime/Linux/x86-32/ the engine is called Standalone, I
advise to rename it on your server to 'revolution'.

Step #2: Copy this engine to your cgi-bin folder and set the
permissions on the file to 755.

Ready! Pronto! You're good to go. =)

After that, you can follow the wonderful CGI tutorial by Jacque and if
you're further interested, explore my RevOnRockets package <

cheers

The latest version of the Linux engine used to be 2.6.1 (which still
works fine.) Now that 2.9 is released, you should be able to use that
one too, though I haven't actually tried it yet. The important part is
that you use the standalone engine, not the one from the app the IDE
uses. You can find the standalone engines in the main Rev program folder
on your hard drive, inside a folder called Runtime. You should already
have all those engines, since they are included with your Revolution
installation.

The standalone engines don't need a registration code. Just copy the
right one to your cgi-bin folder on the server.

Sometimes your scripts need to specify -ui in the declaration line, but
again, I'm not sure if that is still the case when using the standalone
engines. (I really need to get cleared up on that; does anyone know?) In
other words, you may need to do something like this in your text file
script:

#! revolution -ui

When I get some time (which at this point is dubious) I'll do some
tests. I need to update the links on that CGI web page too.
