Обсуждение: [INTERFACES] webserver interface
I am sure that this question has been asked many times, but I am new to this list and am searching for answers.... How to I get Postgres on RH linux 6.2, Apache, talking to web page forms. I am sure there is software for this. Can anyone recommend anything & give tips on their method of doing this. Maybe there is a list FAQ where this is answered. Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------- Craig Potter WhatWhatWhatWhatWhatWhatWhat - Neddie Seagoon --------------------------------------------------------

I use perl, along with the CGI and Pg modules (actually, mod_perl works even better -- much faster!).; Alternatively, you can use PHP3 (www.php3.org), an embedded HTML scripting language along the lines of ASP. It has a lot of really neat things like database connectivity (including Postgres), graphics manipulation, regular expressions, and so on. It runs as an Apache module (you can run it as a CGI mdoule, but it's sooo slow) and has a syntax based on Perl and C. Brett W.

You certainly CAN use mod_php with apache (mod-php with the pgsql module comes with RedHat 6.0). If you don't have a religious attachment to apache, you can use AOLserver, which has a killer tcl API, and directly supports PostgreSQL. I am a little biased towards it, because that is what I have used for over two years -- it is quick and relatively painless to learn the AOLserver-enhanced tcl. Version 3.0b3 is available now in both source and binary form -- check www.aolserver.com for details. AOLserver is one of the most scalable webservers on the planet -- it is right now fielding over 28,000 hits per _second_ at AOL's server farm (more than one server, of course....). AOLserver is multithreaded, and fast. And don't let the initials AOL make you retch -- AOL just bought the company, Navisoft, that built the server originally -- it is not AOL's creation. The original Navisoft people are still there at the helm of this server. If you prefer to stay with Apache, mod_php is , AFAIK, one of the best ways of going about it -- it is very similar to how AOLserver does it.

If it is something more complex use Zope (http://www.zope.org/). ------ Hannu
Thanks for all the tips, I will attempt to try it out shortly....you mention cgi-s - what is this, I know cgi - how is cgi-s different?
