1. Windows guy lost on Linux System! Setting EUDIR
How do I set EUDIR on a Linux server with Apache Web Server - i.e. remotely from
my Windows system. Through .htaccess or system calls?
Thanks,
Alex
PS I am trying to bind my file remotely

I want to know this, too! :)
Actually, I want to know how to do it so I can move all my Euphoria include
files to one central location and not have to put them in each and every folder
where I have CGI programs.

If you can access /etc on the server from your windows machine, you can just
set EUDIR in the /etc/profile file.

You'll need to edit your .bash_profile script in your home directory.
Add these lines:
EUDIR=/home/myname/euphoria
EUINC=$EUDIR/include
PATH=$PATH:$EUDIR/bin
export EUDIR EUINC PATH
(replace myname with your user name)

Good luck! I don't see any issues as binding is done on the command
line. I'm assuming you're SSH-ed into the box, correct?

Greg, correct me if I'm wrong, but in the case of Apache running Euphoria
CGI scripts, it will be in its own user space and, therefore, anything I
set beforehand in my user space won't work. I probably don't have access to
the user profile under which Apache is run, so there's gotta be something
in the .htaccess file for this, or another settings file. I'll check, but you
let me know if I'm totally off base.

I checked out www.apache.org and you can (supposidly) set env vars, but I can
only access .htaccess and thats not implemented until 1.7 and my host is running
1.3.33!
Can it be sorted through system() calls?
Thanks,
Alex

Solved???
#!./exu
puts(1, "Content-type: text/plain\n\n")
include file.e
system("env EUDIR=\"" & current_dir() & "\" ./backendu bind.il -quiet -out eusp
EuSP.ex > bind.out 2> bind.err", 2)
Note: to bind bandendu has to be in a bin directory under the current one!
Chers,
Alex

Choose your weapon:
Apache 1.3: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_env.html#setenv
Apache 2.0: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_env.html#setenv
HTH,

This page: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/env.html
Says this: "If you wish to manipulate the operating system environment under
which the server itself runs, you must use the standard environment
manipulation mechanisms provided by your operating system shell."
Does that need to be done, or will doing what you suggested work? I don't
think so because the Euphoria interpreter would need to be started before
the CGI could run; the system() call wouldn't happen until it was too late,
right?

Huh? No, no, no... They mean if you wanted to *SET* an environment
variable (i.e. manipulate) in the shell, you'd need to use system().
You're not trying to reset a shell environment variable, just read it.
Think of it in terms of variable scope: a shell envronment variable
(PATH, EUDIR) is globally available at the top-level, but a variable
set with SetEnv is local only to that CGI script. Get it?

Yes, and if what you say is true, and the implications play out as expected,
I'll have to buy somebody a [insert favorite beverage here]!!! 8)
