Yeah, I think it's the same problem, Andre.


I currenlty use an ISP that maintains a server farm preconfigured specifically for Rev CGI. So while I'll stay there for now, this does raise a MUCH bigger question for those of us looking to sell server-side solutions:

Can Rev be compiled in such a way that it doesn't need the GUI libs while running as a CGI?


Richard,

the problem I quoted is not related to the GUI libraries but related to the standard C library... If you run 'ldd mc' you'll see what libraries the metacard engine is linked to, for example

-jailshell-2.05b$ ldd mc
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00341000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x4cba8000)
        libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x4cc72000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x00347000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x00223000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x0020a000)


There you see libc.so.6... the problem in Dans webhost is a wrong version of libC, if he uses ldd then search for the file, he'll not find it... the server is using an older version of libC, he is probably using GLIB2.2 and needs 2.3...

If you execute libc.so.6 you receive further information like:

-jailshell-2.05b$ /lib/libc.so.6

I do think he's running 2.2 or older and for that reason cannot run rev... (will run older rev versions though)

cheers

Dan,

if it still the same problem that I saw when I was there during RevConWest is a old version of libC (GLIBC), Rev is linked to a new one, it's hard to upgrade libc... I never tried, too spooky for me.

Cheers

They are willing to run Rev CGI but so far we have been unable to do so. I haven't put any time into this but they put literally no restrictions on CGIs because each domain has its own set of CGI stuff.

I think there's a missing C library of some sort that stands between me and Rev CGI on Dreamhost but if I needed it I imagine I could get that fixed.

You cannot, in my opinion (backed by way too much research time) do better than DreamHost (http://www.dreamhost.com).


Do they support Rev CGI?
