Aloha, Mark:

Still no go on Linux as a CGI...--

fixed the case as you said to:

dbPostgresql.so

one of our team put the file in "/usr/local/lib/revolution/dbPostgresql.so "

and tried to run this script from the shell as root but it didn't work

And I also tried putting it in the cgi bin of the virtual site where it will eventually be used... still didn't work

I also tried a full path from root to the cgi bin of the virtual site

it still fails.  Not sure how to trouble shoot this one..


#!/usr/local/bin/revolution

on startup
�## revSetDatabaseDriverPath "/usr/local/lib/revolution/dbPostgresql.so"
�## revSetDatabaseDriverPath "/home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/cgi-bin/dbPostgresql.so"
� revSetDatabaseDriverPath "dbPostgresql.so"
� put revOpenDatabase("Postgresql","69.94.64.57","cybertalks","user","password ") into pConnectionID
� if (pConnectionID) is a number then
��� put "Your Cybertalks data base opened successfully with connection ID " into tResult
��� put pConnectionID after tResult
��� put tResult into buffer
� else
��� put "Gosh darn, what's up?� The data base connection failed." into buffer
end if


  put "Content-Type: text/plain" & cr
  put "Content-Length:" && the length of buffer & cr & cr
  put buffer

end startup

this works fine from inside the IDE on OSX:

revSetDatabaseDriverPath "dbPostgresql.so"
� put revOpenDatabase("Postgresql","69.94.64.57","cybertalks","user","password ") into pConnectionID
� if (pConnectionID) is a number then
��� put "Your Cybertalks data base opened successfully with connection ID " into tResult
��� put pConnectionID after tResult
��� put tResult
� else
��� put "Gosh darn, what's up?� The data base connection failed."
end if


We must still be missing something.

The Revolution 2.5 (and up) Linux engine has both revXML and revDB
embedded within it, so the externals are not necessary. However, the
database drivers themselves are not embedded and you need to tell the
engine where to find them by doing:
  revdb_setdriverpath <path_to_drivers>
  (or revSetDatabaseDriverPath <path_to_drivers>)
Where <path_to_drivers> is the directory containing the drivers. Also,
Linux paths are case-sensitive so make sure that the value you pass for
the database type looks the same as the driver file:
  i.e. if you pass "mysql" the engine will look for dbmysql.so
       if you pass "MySQL" the engine will look for dbMySQL.so

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
