I found this: http://apache2triad.net/ it is no charge, very simple setup on a Win2000 computer (they also have linux versions). This will install apache, php, python, etc, most things you need. I have the apache web server working perfectly with virtual name (not IP) - with SSL no problem at all, very nice. I think this means I have it installed correectly. It has xmail for email which I have not yet been able to get working, I think because I need to read more. This is a quick way to get a lot of the programs installed an working on your computer.
I am sold also and would like to begin working with Python for an eventual conversion of a very large application (almost 1 million lines of VFP code) over the next 3-4 years. It would be great if this group could agree on a 'standard' installation of apache andpython,e tc for Win2000 and Linux so everyone who is interested could be on the same page. This may not be important for Ed and others who are experienced with these programs, but for all of us who don't know anything very well except Windows and vfp, it would help. Lots of times, I see posts here about this and that and I would like to try it, but I am lost because my computer is not setup exactly like the people who make the post. What is nice about apache2triad, is that all the directories, setup, logs, etc are the same for Linux and Windows. They did that purposely. For example, when I setup my virtual name hosts, I used the same conf files for Linux and Windows. For perl, you use the same first line in the code, etc. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dominic Burford" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "ProFox Email List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 27, 2006 5:06 AM Subject: RE: [NF] Python - Thinking Differently << Everything, and I mean everything, in Python is an object.
