Hi Simon,
Any chance of getting step by instructions on setting it up to work with a
web server like Apache's httpd server (I have Apache's web server running,
actually a couple instances on different ports, and I do all my CGI
programming using Perl)?
I am not so much looking to provide a web interface for working with R, but
rather want to write CGI programs that use R for specific analyses and
graphics. I was considering writing my R scripts as usual (using the
capabilities of QRMlib and RQuantLib, in particular), and have them invoked
by a cgi script written in perl. But your description suggests it can be
made faster. Each package I looked at for doing this was interesting, but I
always got stuck at the point of figuring out how to get Apache's httpd
server to run my R scripts. Your description suggests that a request
requiring R can be just passed onto Rserve, but how does one set that up;
i.e. to pass the request arguments through to the R script, and to tell
Rserve which R script to use?
Any insights on setting this up would be appreciated.
On http://rforge.net/FastRWeb/files/, I read that FastRWeb is to be
installed using "install.packages('FastRWeb',,'http://www.rforge.net/')",
The same page also shows that only the source package and the Mac binary
are available.
but that gives me the following message:
install.packages('FastRWeb',,'http://www.rforge.net/')
Installing package(s) into 'C:\Users\Ted\Documents/R/win-library/2.12'
(as 'lib' is unspecified)
Warning message:
In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :
package 'FastRWeb' is not available
This was on:

I may be biased, but I would recommend using FastRWeb, it's much more
efficient and has a lot of advantages (allows pre-loading of data and
code,
supports parallel connections etc.).
See
http://rforge.net/FastRWeb
and
https://www.urbanek.info/research/pub/urbanek-iasc08.pdf
We use it heavily internally for a lot of things we do, so it's definitely
a very
active project (in fact I know about several people using it externally as
well).
In case you get convinced that this is a good option, please feel free to
contact me if you have any questions and need any help.
Cheers,
Simon
