Thanks, LiangTyan Fui, it works now. Indeed, it appears that one
must use the standard linux 2.0 engines instead of the cgi engine.
Btw for FTP I use my own FPT client ecxFTP, made with
Revolution. A beta preview is availabe at
<http://economy-x-talk.com/ecxftp.html>.
Best regards,
Mark

Fedora Core to be precise.
The engine that I used was this one:
ftp://ftp.runrev.com/pub/revolution/downloads/engines/2.0/Linux.zip
The one in the cgi folder are having some problem.
The more recent engine needs fancy graphic libraries, which will likely
failed on standard Fedora Core server installation (without GUI).
Unzip the file, and you'll get a "mc" binary file.
Upload the binary file into your memebot cgi-bin folder, you have to do
that with FTP client.
Set the permission to 755 with your FTP client.
Copy the following script and save it as "echo.cgi" (the name must ends
with .cgi -- this is required by memebot server).
Make sure the echo.cgi file start with "#!mc" as the first line.
-----------------------------------------------
#!mc
# This MetaTalk script loops over all the environment variables
# set by the server when it runs a CGI application printing out
# its name and value.
on startup
# loop over all of the global variables, getting name and value
repeat for each item i in the globals
put i &" = "& value(i) & cr after buffer
end repeat
put "Content-Type: text/plain"& cr
put "Content-Length: "& length(buffer) & crlf & crlf
write buffer to stdout
quit
end startup
-----------------------------------------------
Upload the "echo.cgi" file to your memebot cgi-bin directory, place it
together with the "mc" binary. Again, make sure it has 755 permission.
Fire-up your browser, and type the following to access your echo script:
http://yourweb.memebot.com/cgi-bin/echo.cgi
Where yourweb is the name that you have created for memebot web directory.
Good luck!
