Do you mean modRexx for apache httpd?  If so, that's on me.  I know that the build doc is sadly lacking, I'll put some work into it this month.  May I draft you as guinea pig/tester?

TAF:  Yes, you may, and with pleasure!


There are a number of things that I would love to do with Rexx as a server "support" language, but have never been able to get modRexx installed under Ubuntu Linux  / Apache 2 where it would function correctly.  My environment is now Linux Mint 21, but since that is based upon UBUNTU I should be able to test both areas.... Have never done anything in the RedHat or Suse versions of LINUX, and I believe that is where modRexx was originally developed.

I am retired, and have been for almost 20 years, but I still do some programming and web design for family and friends. My primary desktop and development environment is Linux based, but I also have several windows machines available for use. As a sideline, from 1983 to about 2005, I used to  run an Advanced Computer Programming Explorer Post, but that closed down around  2005 when the Sponsoring Company (my previous Employer) sold the building where  the Explorer Post had a dedicated classroom / computer lab, with a functional set of Internet connected Servers.

Maybe my difficulties with modRexx was because my background is mostly mainframe based, and only learned enough (via Self Education) about Linux and Windows internals (and networking in general) to keep my environment(s) working.

One of the things that I have become painfully aware of over the years is that under Linux, each distribution tends to follow a slightly different set of rules for placement of modules, and standard "library" usage, so maybe that has been one of the primary "root causes" for my not being able to make modRexx to work correctly...


So yes, "TAF", I would be more than glad to assist...
