1. Online Database - Maybe Off Topic
Hello all,
I want to write/create an online database and put it on my website.
Can I do thie with EU?
If so what is required?
Anyone know of a simple tool out there to do this?
And a site to host it for free?
My database is a simple flat file of 20,000 records with about 15 fields
per record.
Any other suggestions welcome.
Thanks
Tony Steward

Yes. I'm serving up several EUPHORIA databases on a website with
EUPHORIA CGI code.

EUPHORIA in the right place. Apache knowing to use ex.exu to run the
code. Stuff like that.

Probably won't find a free place. But there are "cheap" places.

You pretty much need to own the box to do this with Eu, and it must run as
root to use the socks code. I tried for a year to get Eu to do this on a remote
nix box, and aside from no commercial host willing to allow it, it's a security
risk, IF you can get it working. And the cgi interface is slow.
It took me 5 minutes to set up an irc bot with PHP on a remote commercial
box, and now it's easier to do almost anything on the remote host than to do
it on my own puters. I have PHP doing page checking, fetching, munging,
and serving,, and a backside connection to my own puters using PHP. I still
use Eu here, because i can do some things still in mirc or Eu than PHP. But
the PHP db is compatable with Karl's Bach, i believe, if i wish to use the
same form at home as on the commercial boxen. Or you can code Eu to
access the same db format.

That's pretty small, php can do that with a variety of methods.

I have hosted EUPHORIA databases and CGI at http://www.webintellects.com.

For how long? I was asking all of last year for this sort of info, and no one
volunteered it to me, but you will offer the info in defence of the Euphoria
language?
Thanks.
Btw, i'll be glad to host dedicated boxes for half their charge, you pick the
OS, and you can supply the box already set up if you want.

This is not hard at all.
I have set up Euphoria EDS databases, readable/writable
through a Web interface on:
FreeBSD (File archive and contributor database)
Linux (ListFilter database)
Windows 2000 (teacher/student database for a client)
There is no problem finding a cheap (less than $10/month)
site to host it. As long as they support CGI, it
should be fine. You don't need any assistance or approval
from the host provider to set up Euphoria. It's just
a C program that can run in your home CGI directory.
As far as I know, not many free sites allow CGI
programming or telnet (shell) access.

I know I mentioned it on the list, if not the actual web host name. I
got into problems, however, when my EU proggies were hitting snags and
taking their whole server down with them. <gulp>
Anyway, they give you root access and everything. You can host EUPHORIA
CGI there, run EUPHORIA programs, etc...

done.

Kat, you crazy cat... it was talked about, discussed, concluded to be
possible, etc... I thought you wanted something different like reverse
DNS or something.
