First : Do you have a linux box with apache, php and mc installed on it
? (If yes, it will be a piece of cake to explain how to run MC as a
WAS).
Second : How to get MC running in a long process mode, even in console
mode (without XWindows)

doesn't it need X?
No. You need just an rc.d (level 3) bash starter script pointing to the
stack you want to launch in the background (see the list archives). The
only metatalk feature unavailable in console mode is the idle
function. Is'n it great (Thanks again and again, Scott...) ?
This is really nice, thanks for the tip.

It must be ok too under Solaris but as far as i have never tested the mc Solaris engine before, you will have to verify this by your self. If all the mc unixes engines are builded in the same way, this will probably be ok. Perhaps will you have to ask some help about that to Scott to avoid to have to use your old Linux box. | | Second : How to get MC running in a long process mode, even in console | mode (without XWindows) | Not sure what you mean by running in a long process mode? We simply installed the (pre-compiled) interpreter (the file mc) and are running scripts using that. Can you explain long process mode? Sorry, never heard of it. Your mc config is ok too if the permissions are set as needed. What i meen in speaking about an mc long running process is the way to have mc running in the background (even in console mode) as any other server with the key ability to wait for the requests coming from Apache trough the wmc.php (or wmc.xml, it's the same file in my previous post) without to have to quit after each request as the simple .mt cgi scripts does. Because this long running process mode, the mc-based web applications server is able to handle persistant global variables alike flatfiles databases, alike persistant sessions to the clients and so on. Is that more clear, yet ?
