I'm getting requests for a server-side version of WebMerge, and it would be
most convenient to deploy a standalone for that. However, in my testing I
have been unable to get a BSD standalone to run on my server, even though
the BSD engine works great by itself.
As an alternative solution I suppose I could just supply the engine for BSD
along with a password-protected stackfile called by my .mt script, but it
would take one element out of the installation if I could use a standalone.
Is this possible? If so, what might I be doing wrong?
I hope it is possible. This is an area that's really confusing. This gets back to the issue of - just what is it that the Distribution Builder does exactly? Maybe the Metacard distribution builder sheds light on this.
On Linux, and I'm sure BSD is the same way, when running a standalone from the commandline I get
./appname: Can't open display
This means the standalone demands to be an X Windows GUI program and won't proceed unless the user is running X, and the $DISPLAY can be connected to.
As for why the revolution engine itself doesn't have this limitation- that is the mystery I guess.
