Is dbase using ASP?
|
|
|
| Or is it only cgi spripts - anyone know what kind of webhosting/webhotel you
need för a dbase webapplet. Most that of them seems expensive if you need to
use active html pages - any free?

dBASE can be used only for CGI web apps, and the machine running those apps
must have the dBASE runtime and the BDE installed and properly configured.
I don't believe there are any free dBASE hosting services. However, there
are some commercial services:

| Thanks for the publicity, Bowen!
Of course, someone upstream from me picked today to drop off the internet -
it's been down since mid-afternoon so I'm starting to get concerned. I am
using my backup dialup connection, but I'm so far unable to find out what my
provider status is.

| Regarding ChelseaData.ca, I found an update; start at the second post (dated
today at 4:30pm)
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/ re...start=
20
It does not look good for my upstream network provider, although we've seen
lots of rumours and theories before. Luckily, I was already in the midst of
moving - my clients with their own domains have moved already. My apologies
to Prof Nuwer and my other clients - I will be contacting you shortly (read
on the weekend)
Personally, I'm getting out of the hardware business - too much stress for a
one-person part-time business. ChelseaData.ca will go on, but the hardware
will be someone else's responsibility. More exciting news to follow - just a
little sooner than expected. I was hoping to have more time and get moved
before making any announcements. Oh well!
Thank you
David Ball

The answer to this depends on how much traffic you expect at your web
site. Any machine that can run a dBASE app will also be able to run a
dBASE Web app. I've been use a Pentium II with 128 MB of RAM for quite
some time. But the traffic level is quite small. As the level of
traffic grows, so do the hardware demands.
As for the internet connection, that is determined by the web server,
not dBASE. Any of the standard connections seem to work.

| If you set up the apache server to listen to another IP adress than local
host -127.0.0.1. How do you get such ip adress - i guess you cant use the
dynamic ip that is provided by your ISP? I read something on virtualhosts -
ist that applicable to this subject?

Ok, so far so good - but in apache you set an fixed IP to listen for- or can
you make it listen for a domainname or something?

The Listen directive is generally not needed. I have mine commented
out. It is used if your machine has multiple IP addresses and you want
the web server to responded on only a subset of those addresses. By
default the server will listen to all addresses.
Do you have a DSL router? or is your machine/web server plugged directly
into your DSL modem. If the machine is directly plugged in, then you
can use the domain name in the apache ServerName directive
ServerName mats.tzo.com
If you have a router, then you must configure the router to "forward"
any packet addressed to port 80 (the web server IP port) to the private
IP address of your server's machine. (It should be easier then it
sounds, look at the documentation for "port forwarding") Then use the
private IP address for you server name:
ServerName 192.168.0.2

Sorry, I don't understand what you are referring too. What is the
"that" which might be dangerous?
