Here are a few things that I learned while setting up
Euphoria for CGI on Windows (with Apache).
* use exwc.exe (build it using makecon.exw in euphoria\bin)
otherwise you might have trouble with the standard output
needed to generate the HTML page
* turn off warnings - use:
without warning
at the top of your main file, otherwise the CGI program
might hang at the end waiting for someone to hit Enter,
and your HTML might not be flushed out to the browser yet.
* use:
with trace
trace(3)
and also
with profile
to help you understand what the program did when
no HTML page appears. Also, look for an ex.err file in cgi-bin
I've added these points to the docs for the next release.
