Learning CGI - Woes
On August 4th there was a lot of chatter SQL queries and logins going across the network and what a bad idea that is. There was discussion about CGIs and Jacque's tutorial and other resources that I have now studied. I know I have followed the steps (many times) but I can't get the Hello World script to work! Here is my set up: - I am using Mac OS X 10.6.4 and Web Sharing is on. - I put copied the script from Jacque's tutorial into BBEdit, saved it with Unix line endings (LF) and Unicode (UTF-8): #!revolution -ui on startup put Content-type: text/plain cr cr put Hello World! end startup - I put this hello.cgi file into the /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables folder. - I copied the standalone to the CGI-Executables folder from: /Applications/Revolution Enterprise/4.0.0-gm-1/Runtime/Mac OS \ X/x86-32/Standalone.app/Contents/MacOS/Standalone - I renamed it as revolution - I used chmod 755 on both hello.cgi and revolution - I call the script from FireFox 3.6.8 with http://localhost/cgi-bin/hello.cgi - In the browser I see: Internal Server Error [...snip...] - In the console I see: [Tue Aug 10 17:56:16 2010] [error] [client ::1] Tue Aug 10 17:56:16 \ myMac.local revolution[1589] Error: kCGErrorFailure: Set a breakpoint @ \ CGErrorBreakpoint() to catch errors as they are logged. [Tue Aug 10 17:56:16 2010] [error] [client ::1] Premature end of script \ headers: hello.cgi I used the Terminal and ran: ./revolution ./hello.cgi but there is no output Nothing works. What am I missing? Do I have to modify httpd.conf? I put a simple perl script in the cgi-bin folder and it runs fine. I even tried some php scripts and they run ok from the cgi-bin folder, too. Any help would be appreciated!

browser messages, Pass them?
I use revBrowser in a stack and it works fine. I noticed that a message is sent when I click on a link in the browser window: browserBeforeNavigate 10:00:35 PM (11005) What does the number in parentheses mean? Process ID? I trap this message in a card handler so I can update a status field on browserBeforeNavigate put Page Loading into field Status --pass browserBeforeNavigate --? end browserBeforeNavigate I also trap the browserDocumentComplete message on browserDocumentComplete put Page Loaded into field Status --pass browserDocumentComplete --? end browserDocumentComplete Should I pass these browser messages? Does it hurt if I don't? Any other thoughts would be welcome, too.

Re: File lists
I was intrigued by the File Lists discussion so I spent some time on playing with AppleScript. I uploaded a stack to RevOnLine that demonstrates how to use AppleScript to access lots of information about a file. Take a look for: AppleScript File Info Hope this may be useful, Bob ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Listing available MYSQL databases
If you put SHOW DATABASES; in a text file on the target machine then you can execute the following statements (watch for line breaks): put /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u username -ppassword '/usr/local/ShowDatabases.txt' into myCommand put shell(myCommand) into message box That works for me on my Mac with OS X 10.6.3 Bob Tue, 25 May 2010 11:41:21 -0700, Glen Bojsza gboj...@gmail.com wrote: HI Joe, You are correct and this has help solve my problem. regards, Glen On Tue, May 25, 2010 at 10:32 AM, Joe F. jo...@mac.com wrote: This script would make promysql evaluate to mysqlshow - u nrl -pnrl1 On May 23, 2010, at 3:36 PM, Glen Bojsza wrote: Hello, Has anyone successfully used either open process or get shell() to list the databases available on a machine.

Re: Remote SQL databases
I am not a MySQL expert but I have found that it is possible to join different databases, each with various tables. The trick is to use the database name to fully qualify the table and item such as: SELECT db1.table1.item1, db2.table2.item1 FROM db1.table1, db2.table2 WHERE ... Here is a sample that I have used successfully: put SELECT db1.table1.date, into tSQLcommand put db2.table2.type, FORMAT(db2.table2.amount,2), after tSQLcommand put db1.table1.code1 after tSQLcommand put FROM db1.table1 after tSQLcommand put INNER JOIN db2.table2 ON db1.table1.code1 = db2.table2.code2 after tSQLcommand put WHERE db2.table2.amount 1.00 after tSQLcommand put ORDER BY db1.table1.date; after tSQLcommand put revDataFromQuery(tab, return, tConId, tSQLcommand) into tItems I did not find it necessary to give the databases alias names. In my situation, both databases are on the same machine and can be accessed using the same username/password. Hope this helps.

Re: Move Rev to New Computer
J. Landman Gay jac...@... writes: You don't need to do anything special, just copy over all your files. If you use the Mac's automatic file-copier (forget what it's called, but it copies all your files from one Mac to another, and new Macs usually offer to do that for you) then you probably won't need to do anything else at all. If Rev asks for your key on launch, your current license key will work because your platform hasn't changed, it's still OS X. If you are manually moving your files, there are Rev-related files in places other than the Applications folder, so it's probably easier to just download the current version from the web site and install from that. Your own stacks can be copied anywhere you want, of course. Jacque: Thank you for the information. I found and copied all the files from my old computer over my home wi-fi. I appreciate your prompt and thoughtful response. Do you ever sleep?
