I just tested echo.mt with mchttpd and it works if...you have mchttpd,
echo.mt and MC in the same directory. Also as Scott pointed out, make sure
all files have permissions set the same (rwx).
For example: say you have a directory /root/mcrd with all the above in it.
Make sure you set the directory to it. Start the server(double check the
Settings) and open the browser with address set to say
192.168.33.4:8080/echo.mt. You should see the environment variables of your
system.
On MacOS it shouldn't work with .mt files, but, you need a stack scripted
for receiving and sending appleEvents from/to the server. In the end it
works just the same. Still didn't have time to check if it works with any
scripts(perl) but all the server does is to "open process" which mens to
execute the script.
Maybe it's time I do this for a living ;-)
