1. EUPHORIA CGI + Apache
I've set up a simple page of instructions for getting
Apache to serve EUPHORIA-generated HTML pages. Please
check it out and let me know if there's anything I missed.
I just set up Apache and EUPHORIA on my PC here at work.
We were using IIS, but with the recent outbreak of
IIS-targeting worms, I've decided to go with something... better. ;)
Anyway, let me know!!!
http://www.cklester.com/euphoria/
I am planning on putting up a simple tutorial for IIS, also,
or maybe not. If you think I should, lemme know.
Rob, you can add this to the EUPHORIA web pages section of
the RDS home page, if ya want. :)

All right! Very cool!! I'm glad it helped. :)

Perl?! Gross! heheh.
4. Re: EUPHORIA CGI + Apache
A really useful article.
Can you give a simple "Hello World" example of a Euphoria CGI script?
I've tried:
#!C:\euphoria\bin\exw.exe
puts(1,"Hello World")
But when I try to access the file via:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/hello.exw
I just get a "Page cannot be displayed" or a "500 Server Error" (dependent on
browser and slight httpd.conf changes)
I've checked the mods from your article and double checked the httpd.conf file,
but still cannot get it to work correctly.
It's probably just me that's messed up somewhere, but I'm not an Apache/CGI guru
:(

You need to insert the correct CGI headers. Those specify if you're
outputting HTML code, plain text, pictures, and can do other stuff, like a
redirect. Try this for an example:
#!C:/euphoria/bin/exw.exe
-- i believe you need / and not \
puts(1, "ContentType: text/html\n\n")
puts(1, "< html > < body > Hello World! < /body > < /html >")
I put spaces between the < and the tags just in case they get removed on the
list. Hopefully, you'd still be able to see the tags.

6. Re: EUPHORIA CGI + Apache
Thankyou extremely. Absolutely spot on reply.
Just dropping the Content-Type in there worked perfectly (comment it out and the
error appears again)
Though the < html >, etc tags show as is - ie they don't get tramsformed for
some reason - I'll look into that. It's probably some error on my part. (Yes I
did remove the spaces ;) )
Thanks again. Both CKL and Elliott.
7. Re: EUPHORIA CGI + Apache
Quick update:
The ContentType line works, but should actually be Content-Type
The hyphen makes a big difference.
Then the html tags work fine.
For those who are also struggling and following this thread - don't forget the
\n\n at the end of the line - those matter too :)
8. Re: EUPHORIA CGI + Apache
I have a question, too..
in perl you get the variable from the form on the last screen by using...
name=param('namekey')
can anyone tell me how to get the variable from the form in euphoria?

Yes. Get http://www.rapideuphoria.com/cgi.tar.gz
Therein are demo'ed various ways of accepting form data. You will need
to parse the input string and convert the escaped characters before
you can use them. You'll find the necessary routines in that package
as well.

Oh.. perhaps you don't have a way to untar that package. I'll zip
it and post it to my website in a couple of minutes. Look for it
on the downloads page at http://ellijay.com/users/irvm/

What's giving me headaches are includes. Normal includes like this fail:
include machine.e
They have to be rewritten to be explicit:
include /home/fraser/euphoria/include/machine.e
That's fine for my programs. But when I call standard libraries which call
their own includes, these fail. Which forces me to edit the libraries and
hack in my full path. This is really bad practice.
What's the proper solution? How do I get the EUINC set up properly within
a Linux/Apache/CGI environment?

Err, no, I meant on the EUforum webpage. I heard that HTML tags that=

weren't really HTML code (ie, not formatting for the e-mail, but text in th=
e=20
e-mail) might disappear. It may be fixed now, though.

Ah, sorry, I couldn't remember which it was. It was a bit late...

The \n\n signifies the end of the headers. You can do something longer
like this, which shows why you would need them:
puts(1, "Content-Type: text/html\n")
printf(1, "Content-Length: %d\n", {length("some HTML code")})
puts(1, "Expires: Sunday, 27-Jun-2004 12:00:00 GMT\n")
puts(1, "\n") --done headers
puts(1, "some HTML code")

Hi, Dave! I've updated the web page to provide
a simple "Hello, world!" sample script.
Let me know if y'all need anything else. ;)

When you use Linux/FreeBSD, you have to make sure that the "user" that
runs Apache will have permission to the EUPHORIA directory.
I also notice on Windows that I don't have this problem. On my FreeBSD
box, I do have to be explicit about stuff.
For my Linux web host, I put exu and all the needed includes in the
same folder as where the scripts are... :/

The reason for this, is cause sometimes Apache doesn't allow access to
certian Enviroment Variables, in order to prevent hacking. If you want
a Enviroment Variable to work, you'll have to set it up in the
httpd.conf file. This applies to both Windows, and Linux. The easiest
way to do this is put these lines in your httpd.conf
SETENV EUINC="C:\euinc"
SETENV EUPHORIA="C:\euphoria"
-- OR for linux --
SETENV EUINC="/home/eumario/euinc"
SETENV EUPHORIA="/home/eumario/euphoria"
That should solve your problems with it not finding the Include files
properly. But be sure to have loadmodule "env.so" or whatever it may be
on which ever system. It should be in the default httpd.conf file, and
may be commented out.
