Anyone hosted on WEBAIR? Got something for you.
 

I need to test the script in my sig on webair.

Anyone that can download and install the script let me know and I will give you a free permanent license to the script(up to 3 people only).

Here's the zip file:

install: http://tubecgi.com/install.html

thanks

Huh?

Does webair use macintosh servers or something? If the script works the script works right?

i'm available sortie.. if you have AIM.. email me your screenname at staykeen at aol.com

No, the script is written in c and c++ and uses perl libwww,
C and c++ may have to be compiled directly on the machine to run if
the machine is not compatiable with the orignial machine I used to compile.

A compile on a freebsd server will not run on a CentOS server etc...

Also, some host don't have the proper c, c++ or perl external code libraries installed. Nothing will work on those host. It's like when you can't play a certain video because you don't have a certain codec installed on you computer.

I don't have AIM but emailing you now.

i am setting it up now

don't run any freebsd servers, only Centos or Fedora.
Sorry.

Hey, what is the deal with CentOS!!!
I could not even compile and execute this script:


#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
printf ("content-type: text/html\n\n Hello!");
return 0;
}


See if you can make that run with a compile using gcc or g++

Maybe it was the particular server I tried.

Webair offers many different servers. Need something to work that is reasonable, bet Mike will make sure you are taken care of.

A working test on one server doesn't = a working script on all no matter who the host is.

True, but the main issue here is that too many servers are not setup where I can do a compile which is the solution to all this.

Just login to a server run the c compiler and then install the script; but that's not happening.

Just tried it on my webair and my split infinity server. Same error on both "500 The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request."

I'm quite sure I did everything correctly too. I guess there is an outside chance i fucked something up but since i did it twice on each server, I doubt it.

same here

who the fuck programs in perl now a days

you most likely did everyting correct, that is a normal problem.
The soultion is that i would compile from the original source code on your machine.

See if you can make this small script run with a compile using gcc or g++

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
printf ("content-type: text/html\n\n Hello!");
return 0;
}

Do you have a similar script in another language?

If not, then maybe that's the answer to your question.

Vote:

I think I am just going to re-write this script without c++
It's a powerful language but everybody has to have the same machine.

What language should I use?

vote with a language in your post.

See if you can run this perl script:

If not, then there is no point in re-writing in perl.


#!/usr/bin/perl
use Image::Magick;
use LWP;
use LWP::Simple;
use URI::Escape 'uri_escape';
require LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
require HTTP::Headers;


print "content-type: text/html\n\n Hello";

exit;



BTW: if that script cannot run on your server then your host is pathetic.
