mod_harbour FAQ

[Antonio Linares]

1. What is mod_harbour ?

mod_harbour is an extension module for Apache that allows you to run PRGs directly on the web, without having to build EXEs, etc.

You simply install mod_harbour on an Apache server (running locally on your computer or on a remote PC) and you start running your PRGs on the web !!!

Next, you need to understand how to develop web apps but, don't worry, we provide lots of examples so you can quick start using it

Please review this live demo built using mod_harbour (pure Harbour!)
https://harbour.fourtech.es/modharbour_samples/genesis/index.prg

Finally, mod_harbour is totally free and open source. Wow !!!

Romeo,

Does it make sense to still struggle with a 32 bit system.
Can't you install 64 bit?
You will be left out.


Best regards,
Otto
