I had a go at trying to get Apache to work on Windows without cygwin.
I think one issue that may be causing problems is that Apache doesn't set the
USERPROFILE environment variable in the session. The result is that during the
starting of the J session the noun "home" in profile.ijs gets the value of 0
which causes a domain error at:
user=. home,userx
I checked the IIS USERPROFILE setting and patched my profile.ijs with the
following to give a similar result for Apache:
home=. >(systype-5){(2!:5'HOME');(2!:5'USERPROFILE');'\My Documents'
home=. 'C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile'"_^:(0 -: ]) home
userx=. '\j',('64-'#~16={:$3!:3[2),'602-user'
user=. home,userx
By using the following jhp.bat (instead of jhp.sh)
Rem ============ jhp.bat ===================
@echo off
rem set PATH_TRANSLATED=C:%SCRIPT_NAME%
set
PATH_TRANSLATED=C:/users/rsherloc/documents/web/jhp/htdocs/examples/testrgs.jhp
"C:\program files\j602\bin\jconsole.exe" web/jhp/run %*
Rem ========================================
and commenting out the "exit 0" at the end of web/jhp/run.ijs I was able to
verify that my script (testrgs.jhp) ran successfully and gives what looks like
the desired output.
NB. ===== output from testrgs.jhp copied from jconsole session ===========

NB.===========end output ===========================================
However I still have to resolve the following issues:
* I need to dynamically set PATH_TRANSLATED from SCRIPT_NAME (PowerShell
looks promising here).
* SCRIPT_NAME is set as "/cgi-bin/jhp.bat" not the path to the script from
the browser. (could use base of REQUEST_URI instead)
* I still get an Internal Server error from the above script (works fine from
same file/folder in IIS)
