REBOL cgi configuration

thomas b · Posted: Wed Apr 21, 2004 5:15 pm Post subject: REBOL cgi configuration

Hi from Germany,

first: I found 2 days ago Abyss and I really like the interface, the installer, how Abyss works - ok... but: maybe I am to stupid to install REBOL like PERL as cgi-interpreter.

I read every post about REBOL and the tutorial too. Please let me explain my problem:

I defined the interpreter REBOL, located in a folder rebol in the Abyss folder. The absolute path is c:\inetpub\abyss\rebol\rebol.exe

My document root is (in absolute) c:\inetpub\wwwroot\
I made a folder cgi-bin in ...wwwroot\

I define everything like the tutorial, I tried a alias /cgi-bin AND c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin
I put the test.cgi into this folder, I tried at the cgi-bin folder in the abyss folder - I tried to create at the MIME page a MIME application/x-httpd-cgi cgi

I tried a alias /rebol with rebol becuase I thought the cgi-script did not find the Rebol program. I tried #!rebol -c and #!c:/inetpub/abyss/rebol.exe -cs

I tried a rebol webserver to check if the cgi script is rightand YES! it works. But it does not work with abyss... 8O

My test.cgi is the classical

#!c:/inetpub/abyss/rebol.exe -cs

REBOL [Title: "Server Time"]

print "content-type: text/html^/"
print [<HTML><BODY>]
print ["Date/time is:" now]
print [</BODY></HTML>]

What is my mistake??? I got no result or error 500, I use Windows ME, IE or Mozilla, browser and server at one machine, http://127.0.0.1:8080/...

Many thanks (and excuse my english)

I think your header is wrong but im
not sure , try using this!

Hi Trustpunk,

no - it's not the solution. These line was the same in other REBOL cgi scripts like vanilla or citrusweb.

Most of the CGI I see uses that header , I will look
over the rebol tutorial and see if I can help

Edit: I even have no luck getting Rebol
to work , maybe Aprelium or a forum user
knows how to set this up

Try turning the "Resolve interpreter using the script's #! line" to "No."

Sorry, but it doesn't work. I installed Abyss and REBOL at a second pc and put now everything in the normal Abyss directories - but it still does not work.
Is it really possible to install rebol with abyss? Has someone a running configuration - I would really like to install my site with abyss.

thomas b,

Please send your abyss.conf file and your script to support@aprelium.com. Tell us also what is the full path (in your hard drive) of your script.

I must say thanks lot to Aprelium Support for their help!

I wrote a simple tutorial at http://www.webcontent4all.com/rebol-cgi.html how to configure REBOL and the Abyss Server to run Scripts. And it works!

thomas b,

Thank you for the tutorial. In the coming version (2), adding support for Rebol will be simpler than now since you can declare an Interpreter with command line arguments directly in the console (without requiring the #! trick.)

to Taellik:

1. You say REBOL costs something - RIGHT: Rebol is free
2. You write the link doesn't work - RIGHT: It works.

Sorry - but what is the problem?

I tried over the weekend to get to the tutorial link, but got error message " Page Not Found".

Tried again Monday AM and tutorial page gomes up fine.

Guess maybe service down when trying to go to it... in USA here.
