You should use an FTP program to upload, and make sure you upload the engine as binary.


The other idea (thanks to
Ken Ray) was to do an
ldd mc shell command to
find any Apache shared libraries
missing from my webhost's
server. Unfortunately, all
I get is a "signal 6" error,
and no details whatsoever
in my server account's errors log.

This may be because the engine has been uploaded as a text file, if that is really the problem.


So, as an alternative solution
I tried downloading and then
uploading a more recent mc
linux engine, but, because
I'm working on Windows,
I'm wondering if it's actually
possible to download, de-
compress, and then upload
a Linux file from a Windows
machine.

It should be okay. I do it from a Mac all the time, and I assume it would be the same on Windows. But if you are worried about it, you could try uploading the engine from the 2.6.1 "engines" folder in the distribution. That one has already been decompressed by Revolution. If you don't have that engine available, make a small unix standalone to force Revolution to download it.

Another problem may be that you are trying to run the wrong engine on your server. Check with your web host provider to see what version of unix they are running. The engine you upload must match the server OS. Maybe they are not using Linux, and they are using some other flavor instead.
