Congratulations. This is really an achivement!
Seeing #!C:/cygwin/bin/sh made me pause.
There are a few details to clarify. But first I would like to
point out how the configuration pattern chosen for JHP
works out on various systems, in a way that the separation
layer ensures that neither the library code nor,
more importantly, user code (JHP pages) require any changes
when installed on various systems.
Now a few comments.
Is Apache a Windows application or a part of cygwin?
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/cygwin.html
And if the latter would provide more UNIX-like configuration.
Using Apache 2.2.4 Windows native installation - much faster due to threading.
If the former, would a jhp.cmd script work instead of bash,
which would exclude cygwin altogether. Something like
@echo off
set PATH_TRANSLATED=C:%SCRIPT_URL%
C:\Jsoftware\jconsole.exe web/jhp/run %*
Yes, but for some reason I had trouble getting this to work.
I have cygwin installed anyway it was not an issue to me.
<Directory "C:/Jsoftware">
should probably be <Directory "/Jsoftware">
The "<Directory" directive references the file system not the Apache
URI path so I have always put the windows device, which is very
important when serving off another drive (-. C:).
Ref: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#directory
It's not a good idea to expose all J installation to the web,
but rather create more granular virtual folders.
Agreed, but here I am just playing on a local machine and it lets me
browse J source as well.
I have the J help browsable (and indexed by Swish-e) as well.
So, production for sure, but as it is only for me... Well I'm lazy
like most good developers :-)
> export J_PATH=C:/Jsoftware
should be JPATHj601
Fixed - thanks.
You need to reinstall cygwin and specify to use \n instead of \r\n.
Otherwise there will be many more such inconsistencies.
A style thing - I keep cygwin in Unix mode as I share files with a
Linux box as well. I don't have to think about file formats as I try
and keep all in Unix style by default.
Thank you for offering your configuration experience.
No problems! Apache/Windows is fast and secure and lets me run similar
environments on varying platforms, at this stage JHP is an experiment
(which is working nicely!).
