To start with a very simple Orbit application, for example the 'Hello World' example shown on the Orbit project page [1] you'd want to do the following: 1. Install Lua and Luarocks on your system. I do this using a simple snippet that I created for this purpose [2]. 2a. ./sandbox/bin/luarocks install orbit 2b. ./sandbox/bin/luarocks install wsapi . 3. Set up your orbit application so your main script has something like the following at the top: #!/usr/bin/env /path/to/your/directory/sandbox/bin/wsapi.cgi This will set the script up so it runs using the wsapi.cgi launcher. 4. Give the script execute permissions, and set up your web server/directory to execute it as a CGI. The specifics are always a bit more sketchy, but this should get you started. There's also probably a more 'kepler' way to do things, but this is what I tend to use =) - Jim [1]: http://keplerproject.github.com/orbit/ [2]: http://snipt.net/jnwhiteh/install-lua-and-luarocks-into-a-sandboxed-directory _______________________________________________ Kepler-Project mailing list Kepler-Project@lists.luaforge.net http://lists.luaforge.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kepler-project http://www.keplerproject.org/
