mod_harbour for non dedicated servers

[Antonio Linares]

Here we have a good list of Apache contributors that hopefully could guide us:

I have just emailed mod_lua developer (all the emails in the previous URL) this email:

Dear Brian,

I have read that you were the developer for mod_lua. Congratulations for your great work and for sharing it.

We have developed a new mod_harbour for Apache and we wonder how could make it part of the default Apache package ?

many thanks for your guidance,

Happy new year

I kindly ask you to take some minutes and email to other members in the list. Lets try it

Hi Enrico,
Jean told me on FB that he is working with IIS.
Best regards,
Otto

Otto Atzwanger yes it is, and I even added my own librairy. it work on iis on win server 2019

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

So? I don't see the point.

Enrico,
The point.
Since you are a professional software developer, I think that only dedicated hosting is an option for you and yes, mod harbour and IIS work wonderfully there.

Best regards,
Otto

Unfortunately not. As I already wrote, I must use the existing customers company servers or web spaces. It's not my choice.

This is a pity. Then you will have to go the stony PHP way. That's what happened to me with ASP classic. It was just discontinued.

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Actually, I have no problem at all with web developing. But I'm always open to improve things.

But then it might have been better - in terms of the economic efficiency of the scarce resources - you might have been able to formulate your questions a little differently.

I'm not talking about dedicated servers but web spaces. Aruba doesn't allow to run CGI EXEs from their web spaces. Most of my customers have web spaces from various providers or company web servers that doesn't allow CGI EXE to run for company policy.

Sorry, this server linux ( BASIC ) is a dedicated server?

If mod_harbour works for you I'm very happy. It can't work for me as of today.

[Otto]

Enrico,
Yes, it works fine for me. I also have such a wonderful tool for the backend.
Thank you for this tool.
Best regards,
Otto

Dear Enrico,

Doing tests on non dedicate servers, we have found that we can run modharbour (CGI version) on any public HTML folder this simple way:

info.php

Code: Select all  Expand view

<?php
   print( shell_exec( "./modharbour info.prg" ) );
?>

See how you are running Harbour here from a folder which it is not cgi-bin:

In other words, this means that we could use modharbour CGI from any shared hosting

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Can you send me the modharbour folder so I can upload it to my webspace and test it, please?

[Antonio Linares]

Dear Enrico,

Please let me know what Linux version your host is using so we can build it specifically for it

version.php

Code: Select all  Expand view

<?php
   print( shell_exec( "lsb_release -a" ) );
?>
