As far as I could see from chicken-setup.scm, doing $ chicken-setup -repository path/to/alternative/repo egg also works, although chicken-setup -h says -repository only prints the location of the repository. Can -repository be safely used as an alternative to setting CHICKEN_REPOSITORY?

Hi Sridhar, just curious about your hosted experience. Are you using Chicken to serve pages?

Can -repository be safely used as an alternative to setting CHICKEN_REPOSITORY? You are right, and -h doesn't print the whole truth (fixed, thanks). During execution of .setup scripts the environment-variable will be in effect, but for all actions performed by chicken-setup, the option will do the right thing. cheers, felix -- http://galinha.ucpel.tche.br:8081/blog/blog.ssp ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

> felix, thanks for the quick reply. I wonder why this isn't in the > documentation (at least in 'chicken-setup -help') Well, it seems to be in chicken-setup's manual: http://galinha.ucpel.tche.br/chicken-setup Then again, I suppose it should be added to the FAQ: http://galinha.ucpel.tche.br/faq It would be great if you could add your question, and the answer, there, Sridhar. I think it is general enough to deserve inclussion. I would probably add a “Extensions” section. There I would add “How can I install Chicken eggs to a non-default location?”. And then, I would add “Can I install chicken eggs as a non-root user?” and have the answer refer to the one for the previous question. Thanks.

Hmm, those links should work just as well as the regular (port 80) links. :-) But alright, since there's no need to use the non-standard 8080 port, I guess I will remove it. > You can edit the faq with the following content, I just added your content.

If you're using GNU/Linux, this is likely your case. If you're using Apache, I would suggest setting the CHICKEN_REPOSITORY environment variable using its SetEnv directive; to me it sounds better to keep it in your configuration files rather than in your source code. In this case you'd just do something along the lines of: #!/usr/local/bin/csi -s (use stream-cgi html-stream) Good luck. :-) Alejo. http://azul.freaks-unidos.net/ ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
