Ok, although the title may sound strange (and i dont mean because its not about blender, but because ‘javaserver pages server’ just sounds strange…), does anybody know of a server app that can be run on windows and it actually works (i couldnt get tomcat to work).
if i hadn’t not known (- x - ) of php, cgi-perl, and other goodies when i started, i would have picked on of them. alas, now I have ASP and its shitty VBscript embeeded in my brain forever!!! it burns!!! arrrghhhh!!
oh yea, and i hate vbscript too because it teaches you horrible habits, and when you want to migrate to a different language, you type in that absurd vbscript syntax!!
kib_tph: not necessarily. although i havent seen pages with a .py extension, but i’ve read a tutorial on how to program you pages in python, and without a cgi extension. i dont know if you’re talking about the extension or about the web standard (common gateway interface). if its the web standard, then asp is considered cgi too…
btw: dont feel offended, but who voted for cgi? i cant imagine anybody would want to program in perl and deal with all the security holes (i’d have trouble finding the solid parts :-? )… can you even connect to a database?
Both Tomcat and PHP run fine as server side scripting with windows… I currently have Apache, PHP and MySQL installed on my W2k laptop at work for development purposes… no issues. PHP runs great… though I’d recommend using linux as it will be easier to find modules and updates for Apache and PHP on Linux vx Windows.
