Home Linux Server
Hello,
Currently I am generating some webpages via a script I run off a Linux server. Unfortunately, the host limits the amount of processing the scripts can do, to conserve their resources. Rather than find another host, I was hoping to either install some sort of Linux program on an old PC or install some sort of Linux program that runs under Windows. The script will run under: SuSE LINUX with Apache Red Hat Linux with Apache BSDI Unix with Apache Does anyone have a suggestion as to which option would be easiest for me? I have limited knowledge of Linux so I am not too anxious to tackle a new OS from scratch. Does a program exist that will emulate the systems above on a Windows box? Not sure if it helps but the script will not run under WIN/IIS. Thanks a lot for your help folks! |
Hi, and welcome to LQ!
Depends on the scripting language, I suppose. You can run apache on wondows, though. Cheers, Tink |
Thanks for the quick response!!
I installed Apache and am now playing around with it. I am going to look around this site for some answers but if you could point me in the direction of how to CHMOD the cgi files, that would be great! I am use to using CuteFTP so I guess I will have to learn the commands to do it manually. On another note, the program is written in Perl. Thanks again. |
Changing file permissions on Windows is completely different than on a *nix system so chmod is effectively a no do.
You might look into running Apache under Cygwin which then allows you to use *nix commands without mucking up your Windows Installation. Perl is well catered for. See here - Apache on Cygwin for more info. Please heed the warnings on security if your releasing your site into the wild! |
Thanks Prj, I will give that a try.
lol, I will be using this locally so I will avoid all of the security risks....I have enough security problems using Windows on a daily basis....I don't need any more :) |
