Harbour CGI

[Otto]

Dear Antonio,

Code: Select all  Expand view

Simply copy modharbour.exe and libcurl-x64.dll from here to the cgi-bin folder of your Apache:
https://github.com/FiveTechSoft/mod_harbour/blob/master/cgi/windows/modharbour.exe
https://github.com/FiveTechSoft/mod_harbour/blob/master/cgi/windows/libcurl-x64.dll

Now copy a simple test.prg to the same folder:
https://github.com/FiveTechSoft/mod_harbour/blob/master/cgi/windows/test.prg

And run:
your_domain_name/cgi-bin/modharbour.exe?test.prg

 

Can you please tell me how to make the settings in Apache so that the whole htdocs folder works with CGI?

Is it possible to run mod harbour and CGI in parallel?

Best regards,
Otto

Dear Antonio,
If I copy one of my prg projects to cgi-bin and run the prg file I get the following error.
Can you please help me. What do I miss?

file:///C:/mppcgi-bin%07ssetscssheme.css

Best regards,
Otto

Dear Otto,

what does the PRG ?

[Otto]

Dear Antonio,
here it is running from mod harbour:

https://winhotel.org/submarine_yellow/index.prg

And here I try with CGI.
I copied the whole folder submarine_yellow to cgi-bin.

https://winhotel.org/cgi-bin/modharbour.exe?index.prg

Best regards,
Otto

Dear Otto,

In the first example you have:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/css/theme.css">

and in the second one you have:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://winhotel.org/submarine_yellow/assets/css/theme.css.map">

I think thats where the difference is coming from

Dear Antonio,
Thank you.
I read today, that css is not allowed inside cgi-bin folder.

I think it is better I start with a tiny sample.
What is the right way to link in js and css?

Best regards,
Otto

https://winhotel.org/cgi-bin/modharbour ... /index.prg

Here I get:

T https://winhotel.org/cgi-bin/assets/css ... ter-v2.css net::ERR_ABORTED 404 (Not Found)
modharbour.exe:35

Dear Antonio,

If I place the files js and css inside htdocs and prg into cgi-bin it works fine.

Otto

Dear Antonio,
Can you please help me again?
How do you have to pass the parameters? (example /index.prg?edit=edit)

https://mydomain.org/cgi-bin/modharbour ... /index.prg

https://mydomain.org/cgi-bin/modharbour ... ?edit=edit

Best regards,

Dear Antonio,
Thank you. You were right. I had a very old modharbour.exe.
I have now downloaded the update and everything worked right away.
I downloaded the new modharbour.exe from here:
https://github.com/FiveTechSoft/mod_har ... arbour.exe
and copied it into my cgi-bin folder.
I changed this rule in my c:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf and restarted the server:

<directory C:/xampp/htdocs>
RewriteEngine a
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z]*)$ /cgi-bin/modharbour.exe?prg=$1 [NC,QSA]
</directory>

It is explained here:
https://github.com/FiveTechSoft/mod_har ... master/cgi

I haven't done extensive testing yet, but it seems much more performant to me.

Thanks a lot.

Best regards,
Otto

Dear Otto,

thank you for testing it. It works real fine, super stable and finally we are just using a Harbour EXE again

Easier to build, to understand and to maintain

Sometimes we have to accept that things can be done in a better way... for me it was a frustration at the first time, then I accepted that it is the way
Simplicity always win. Now we have a modharbour rock solid !!!

[Antonio Linares]

It took almost three years to discover it, but thanks God, that light came in and the way was revealed...

modharbour CGI or simply Harbour CGI is the best after the bread and butter. Now you can come and blame me: "Antonio you fooled us for several years" and you are right. I have changed my ideas many times, trying to get things done in a simpler and easier way.

But thats how research and development works. Life too I would say. You have to accept the facts and the learnings...

I like it! It is a pity that commercial web space providers don't allow CGI EXE to run anymore.

Anyway, it is great for dedicated web servers!

A question: in what mod_harbour CGI differs from the normal Harbour CGI (that I've used for years)? What are the advantages?

[Antonio Linares]

Dear Enrico,

We first invented mod_harbour, then we turned it into a CGI exe, keeping the functionality (commands, defines, etc) and functions, classes, etc that we originally developed for the mod_harbour.

I don't know how is your Harbour CGI, so I can't compare them

Here you have all the source code for mod_harbour cgi:

I haven't MY harbour CGI. It is just an Harbour (or xHarbour) console app like this:

Code: Select all  Expand view

#include "Simpleio.ch"


FUNCTION MAIN()

    ?? [Content-type: text/html]
    ?
    ? [<HTML>]
    ? [<HEAD>]
    ? [<BODY>]
    ? [Param = ] + GETVAR( "Param" )
    ? [</BODY>]
    ? [</HTML>]

    RETURN NIL
