THanks J.

But even this below is a bit beyond my understanding at this time. i THINK i know about what you are saying here but I could also be way off in my understanding as well. I am a novice.

Grab the file I mentioned and I think it will all come clear. Basically what I was saying is that you need to copy the Rev engine to the server. For most operating systems, you can just use a copy of the regular Rev application. On OS X though you need a special version of the Rev engine. That engine is called the "Darwin" version and it can be downloaded from the RR site (there is a URL in my notes.) The Darwin engine isn't normally used for anything other than running CGIs on OS X.


There is a "cgi" folder on most servers which is used to hold CGI scripts. My notes suggest copying the engine to that folder, though technically it doesn't have to go there. If you are just starting out though, it's easier to keep it there.

My notes do assume that you know a bit about how CGIs work in general, so a little Googling on the subject might help if you've never done this stuff before.

The first time you get it working, the "cool factor" is palpable.
