Hi Massimo, Hi Jeff, thank you for your answers. Rivet is running now.
Perhaps a bit of feed-back. This is not criticism, it is to help making rivet better. IMHO, there should not be as much error message when the install script runs. The version 2.0 suggests a mature software. The install script and the IMHO quite weak installation instructions do not. Also the remar in two places "look to doc/html for installation instructions" is quite inappropriate. I didn't found anything there in my source distribution. IMHO the installation should mention that many errors are expected. And a test should be mentioned. IMHO it is not sufficient to tell "add to apache conf". It would be better to write something like "add to file /etc/apache2/default-config.conf. Of cause this depends on the distribution, but at least one requires an idea. I also took some time to find apxs (as apxs2 in the develop package). There should be a word, that this is a development tool provided with apache. And "easy" is something else ;-) To end this funny text, here are my installation steps: * All lines starting with "*" are remarks or instructions, * all others must be entered on the command prompt * System: SuSE Linux 11.1 32Bit X86 * be shure, packet apache2-devel is installed * download Rivet 2.0.0 from http://tcl.apache.org/rivet * As normal user in a temporary folder: tar -xvf rivet-2.0.0.tar.gz cd rivet-2.0.0 aclocal autoreconf ./configure --with-tcl=/usr/lib --with-apache-version=2 \ --with-tclsh=/usr/bin/tclsh --with-apache=/usr \ --with-rivet-target-dir=/usr/lib/myrivetlib \ --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs2 make * compilation takes some time su * enter superuser password make install * many errors arise * will install: * /usr/lib/apache2/mod_rivet.so * /usr/lib/apache2/mod_rivet.la * /usr/lib/myrivetlib/* kate /etc/apache2/mod_rivet.conf * (replace "kate" by your favorite editor) * Editor opens. Enter the following lines: # start of file /etc/apache2/mod_rivet.conf AddType application/x-httpd-rivet rvt AddType application/x-rivet-tcl tcl AddType "application/x-httpd-rivet; charset=utf-8" rvt # end of file /etc/apache2/mod_rivet.conf * Start Yast Sysconfig module: * Navigate to Network->www->apache2 * Add "rivet" to APACHE_MODULES * Add "/etc/apache2/mod_rivet.conf" to APACHE_CONF_INCLUDE_FILES * Test * kate /srv/www/htdocs/test.rvt * (replace "kate" by your favorite editor) * Editor opens. Enter the following lines and save the file: <? package require Rivet package require Session package require DIO package require form puts "<b>I got right here!</b>" ?> * End of file * Now open the following address with a web browser: * http://localhost/test.rvt It should show "I got right here!". If there are errors, there are issues with the installed apckages. If there is the file contents ("<?...?>" shown, there are issues with the apache configuration. ---- End ;-) Thank you all !
