Re: Backup script not working properly

The problem is in 'if [ ${num} -le 0 ]' and 'else num=$((${num}-1))'. It seems
like the num-variable can't be used as an integer. Any suggestions how to fix
this???
On Linux, /bin/sh is /bin/bash. This is not the case on Cygwin and
other *nixs. The "$((...))" thing is a bash feature/extension I think,
and not found in the standard Bourne shell. Try using the expr command
instead to do math, or change the shebang to call bash explicitly.
Indeed.
man bash
/Arithmetic Expansion
Arithmetic expansion allows the evaluation of an arithmetic expression
and the substitution of the result. The format for arithmetic expan-
sion is:
$((expression))
The expression is treated as if it were within double quotes, but a
double quote inside the parentheses is not treated specially. All
tokens in the expression undergo parameter expansion, string expansion,
command substitution, and quote removal. Arithmetic substitutions may
be nested.
The evaluation is performed according to the rules listed below under
ARITHMETIC EVALUATION. If expression is invalid, bash prints a message
indicating failure and no substitution occurs.

I found this from the postilion home page (http://www.postilion.org) under "nagging bugs" (!) : "Entering a Full Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, or [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Full Name) format address in the preferences widget will not work properly. Setting the address in the format [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Full Name) in each mailbox's configuration will work. To do this, open the "Mailboxes" window, select the mailbox, right-click, choose "Edit" from the menu, and enter your address in the From: and, optionally, the Reply-to: fields." Worth a try. Alternatively, bite the bullet and find a MUA that works.

For lighttpd or for PHP? The fastcgi dev. kit is needed to build php with fastcgi support.

What is the difference with layout GNU and layout PHP? It just puts files in different places; I don't know the exact details, and I suspect it's not all that important for this exercise.

The bang path is set to #!/bin/bash. I don't think that's the problem. I've reported this on the lighttpd list. So, what now? I saw that Reini is going to have another look at the PHP package in the light of some progress in another area. Meanwhile, I've got php working (subject to further testing!) so I'll leave it at that I think. I'll try and write this up and post a link when I'm done.

I'd love to know how! I'm trying to put together a webserver/database/php solution that will work on my WinXP laptop for demos/prototypes. I don't have admin access on this machine, i.e. no registry access - I can't even copy php.ini to c:\windows! Cygwin installs OK to c:\cygwin and I've succesfully got apache and postgresql running under cygwin. But I'm stuck with php. I've investigated lighttpd, and it looks very promising. The fast-cgi module looks great - the spawn-fcgi utility built on cygwin straight out of the box, but I still come back to not having a version of PHP that works. I downloaded the 4.3.8 windows zip file and extracted it into c:\php but I can't work out how to integrate this binary with the cygwin tools, if indeed it is possible. Has anyone got any suggestions that might help me out here? Is there any more news about the cygwin php port?

mod_php for apache under cygwin?
Hi, I've read the archives and it seems that mod_php under cygwin is not currently available. Does anyone know when this it is likely to be available again? Is there any way I can download an old version from somewhere to use until the official package is relased?
