I could need some help with getting MMS working on my OS X server (which also runs SIMS).
Has anyone done this yet? I have trouble getting Apache configured so that it runs MMS as a cgi. The MMS docs are not of much help for me, since they only describe how to set up WebSTAR. There are several things I do not understand how to do right: 1. Do I need the ACGI server? I'm not sure, but I tried this: I create an alias called "mms.acgi", and then I was able to have MMS launched by the ACGI server when I entered an URL like: http://myhost.com/cgi-bin/mms.acgi, but entering "http://myhost.com/cgi-bin/mms.cgi$echo.cgi.mms"; would lead to a "file not found" meaning that someone does not strip the part beginning with "$" from the URL to find the cgi to talk to. (I should note that I am able to run basic cgis such as printenv from my cgi-bin folder) 2. The "MIME suffix" setup method suggests this for WebSTAR: 1. create an alias of MMS application 2. drop the alias into your "cgi-bin" folder in WebSTAR, and rename the alias to "mms" 3. start the WebSTAR Admin 4. open up the Settings window (Edit -> Server Settings) 5. select "Actions" on Web settings 6. click "New" to create new action 7. type "MMS" into the Action field, type ":cgi-bin:mms" on the Path field (all without the quotes) 8. click "Save" 9. select "Suffix Mapping" on Web settings 10. click "New" to create new suffix mapping record 11. filled up the following items:- Action - "MMS" Suffix - ".mms" Type - "*" Creator - "*" MIME Type - "text/html" 12. click save 13. Done Can someone explain to me how to do a similar thing with Apache? I found the MIME setup using "Server Settings" (OS 10.2.8), but it does offer all the options that WebSTAR offers: I can not specify the MMS app to be used, for instance, but only that the "mms" type should be handled as either a cgi or a acgi. But that can't be all - there must be a place where I tell the web server to talk to the MMS app. Thomas -- Thomas Tempelmann, http://www.tempel.org/rb/ http://www.tempel.org/software/ ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
