rev cgi at Bluehost: libX11.so.6 not found

2012-05-09 Thread FORD JR, CURT
I'm trying to setup a registration system using the old rev engine (linux) and 
cgi scripts. The user fills in a form on a web page, clicks a button, and the 
script should start the engine, do some tasks, and display some information 
returned by the script.


There are no problems in testing on my site, which is hosted by on-rev - it all 
works great.


The client is on Bluehost, where we keep getting errors; the webpage shows


[an error occurred while processing this directive]


and the cPanel error log shows


lccgi: error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.6: cannot open shared 
object file: No such file or directory


Bluehost support has had me install some php pears and add some include_path 
statements in the php.ini file; this didn't help. I've also tried putting a 
dummy text file named 'libX11.so.6' in the cgi-bin folder where my script is, 
and in the php folder, and in the home directory, which also hasn't helped.


One support person suggested the problem was that they have 64-bit libraries, 
and libX11.so.6 is 32-bit.


Does anyone have experience with a rev cgi at Bluehost? I've spent hours on 
this  would be grateful for any suggestions..

I stopped using Bluehost many years ago when I discovered that they use
a common error log for all users of a given machine, and worse, were
aware of the problem and have no plans to fix it.

RunRev's answer for problems like this is to replace all the CGIs you
once wrote for free with new versions using the $299 RevServer.

Some scripts may be easily ported to PHP.

Livecode server works just fine at Dreamhost. And they have some of the
best uptime and support in the industry, at competitive prices. Thanks to
Andre for helping me get it running. All you need is a properly made
.htaccess file at the top of the domain - no modification of Apache, which
one can't do anyway on a shared server.

Options +ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
AddHandler livecode-script .lc .irev
DirectoryIndex index.irev index.lc index.php index.html
Action livecode-script /cgi-bin/livecode-server/livecode-server

and this one in the cgi-bin folder

Options ExecCGI
SetHandler cgi-script

 the permissions must be set in a certain way for this to work.

here's the cgi-bin arrangement w/ permissions at one of my sites

Thanks very much for this -- I wasn't able to get the first version of 
RevServer working at JaguarPC and I'm positive it was for the same 
reasons you had. Now that I have a recipe maybe I'll try it again. Would 
love to get it going.


JaguarPC, btw, has no problems with old-style cgis. Apparently they have 
the right libraries installed. But I think Curt would rather make the 
Bluehost server work if possible; everything is already installed there.


Maybe Andre has a magic fix for that particular problem too.
