Installation on commercial web servers

[Ryon]

The present Linux version 7.0.4 is obviously intended for a graphic installation, where someone has root privileges. I'd like to try it as a scripting language, and am having trouble installing it standalone in a shared web hosting environment.



Shouldn't I be able to untar and make just the newlisp executable, chmod it to 755, and have it work? Or is there more to the process? Bash reports newlisp: command not found.

I forgot to call it "./newlisp" instead of just "newlisp".

It's working just fine!

Yes, I am also runnning newlisp on my site without root privileges, the http://nuevatec.com/news">http://nuevatec.com/news and http://nuevatec.com/blog">http://nuevatec.com/blog , both run at an ISP webhosting company (Verio). Of course some people have the problem, that they cannot compile on their host, or don't have shell access.



You will find, that newlisp is more responsive than other popular web srcipting languages, even though it runs as a CGI process and not an Apache module.



Also I run all files with extension .cgi, which most apache http.conf files have registered as a script handler.

You're right. The .cgi extension caught me! And you are also right about the speed of newLISP as a web scripting language. Very responsive!
