- Upload your improvements to the realsoftware ftp server or
- the realbasic hotline cafe.
-
- You can test RealBasic CGI apps of your own by running a web
- server and browser on your own computer locally. Anytime
- you make changes to your source code and want to try them out,
- you have to build the application, and give it a name that ends
- with ".acgi". Drag the application to the cgi-bin folder inside
- your server's root or where-ever you can put cgi programs.
-
- Download Quid Pro Quo or another of the servers listed at
- http://www.macorchard.com/
-
- You'll need enough RAM to run the server, a browser, and the cgi app:
- Quid Pro Quo ~ 5mb
- Internet Explorer 4 ~ 4mb
- realbasic cgi app ~ 1 mb
- (Finder takes up RAM, too)
-
- After you've installed the server, open your TCP/IP control panel,
- and save the configuration you have. Type command-K to view all
- the configurations. Duplicate one of them and rename it "localtalk"
- or something. Click the "Make Active" button to go back to the
- TCP/IP window. These are the settings I have:
- Connect via: appletalk (MacIP)
- Configure: Using MacIP manually
- IP Address: 111.111.111.111 (or any easy to remember numbers)
- everything else should be blank
-
- Now open up Quid Pro Quo (or your server) and it should start up alright
- (though it may take a while while it tries a nameserver lookup), then
- start up your web browser. Open up a url like this:
- http://111.111.111.111/cgi-bin/rb-echo.acgi
-
- replace the numbers with the numbers you entered in the TCP/IP control panel,
- and replace the name of the program with the name of your CGI app.
