Yes. You can configure Abyss Web Server to start at your computer boot up and to run in the background even if no user is logged on. To do so, select Startup Configuration in the Server menu of Abyss Web Server and change the startup mode to Automatic startup on computer startup (Install as a Startup Item).

Thanks to a contribution from Eric Lawrence some files, and instructions, are included with the current release.

Yes, you have to have some form of X server (unless you're running Windows, of course). It needs an X server for image processing, and for font manipulation. However, if you wish to run in batch mode, you can run with a special, frame-buffer-less X server called Xvfb, which doesn't require a graphics card or mess with your screen: Xvfb :1 -screen 0 10x10x8 -pixdepths 1 & gimp --display :1.0 --no-interface --batch "commands" ..

Although Abyss Web Server does not support FrontPage Extensions, you can still design your web site with FrontPage and host it on the web server without any problem. All you have to do is to configure FrontPage to generate standard HTML code and to disable the specific widgets that require these extensions (these widgets are those you can add from the Web Components option in the Insert menu.

originally http://www.htsoft.com/forum/all/showflat.php?Number=19378) Being the first release under MacOSX we have simply adapted our UNIX shell installer. Most those requesting the MacOSX version seemed to be familiar with the UNIX side of OSX but for those that are not, here are a few steps to get things going: * Put the installer on your desktop.

When I replace some pages or images hosted by the server, I still get the old ones when I browse my web site. I have correctly configured a custom error page. But when I test it, I still get the original error page.

Web servers and database servers are generally independent and do not connect directly. It is the scripts responsibility to do such a connection and to use or store data. Of course, these scripts are invoked by the server and run by the suitable interpreter (PHP or Perl for example.) a consequence, install MySQL as explained in http://www.mysql.com, then write or install scripts that can use it. Database support is independent from the web server.

X Server is a program that provides display and user input services to other programs. In comparison, a file server provides other programs with access to file storage devices. File servers are typically located in a remote location and you use the services of a file server from the machine that you are located at.

Set MacOS X to run in English (System Preferences > International > Language, and drag English to the top of the list.)

This is not difficult if you understand that unless the X server is told otherwise, it attempts to be server number 0 for the local machine. To instruct the X server to use a different server number for itself, pass it the server number as an argument.

Zone Alarm 5 is known to break Cygwin/X. As a result you'll see this line (or a similar) as last output in /tmp/XWin.log Rules = "xorg" Model = "pc101" Layout = "us" Variant = "(null)" Options = "(null)" Disabling Zone Alarm will not solve this problem. You can only uninstall Zone Alarm 5 and switch to an earlier version (4.5 is known to work) or use a different personal firewall. Another reason is /tmp mounted in textmode.

Before running a script, you must install the support for its interpreter (the language it is written with which could be PHP, Perl, ASP, etc.) according to the instructions provided in the main support page. If the interpreter support is correctly set, open Abyss Web Server's console. In the Hosts table, press Configure in the row corresponding to the concerned host, and select Scripting Parameters.

We run the Apache web server software. According to Netcraft Apache is the most dominate web server on the planet, and powers over 56% of websites.

No, we maintain a database, connections to payment processors and specific application software to carry out the transaction. It is not practical to implement this on your server at this time. There are too many issues involving maintenance, backup and security.

No, you cannot. For security reasons, we DO NOT allow our dialup subscribers to run their own CGI/PERL scripts. This is our security policy to protect our SingNet customers. However, SingNet has provided a customizable cgi script (mailback.pl) for user to run on their web pages. Please note that this script is provided to users as a form of value-add service, and hence, SingNet will not be held responsible of helping the customers to debug any problems. If you think that mailback.

There are a few reasons to run SPSS via X-Windows on the Statistics servers. The primary reasons have to do with the local disk that's on the Statistics servers, and the speed with which the Statistics servers can crunch data. What using X-Windows to display SPSS windows on a desktop PC from a Statistics server does is, it allows you to use the power of the statistics server from your desktop.

It is the crevasse that sits beneath every organisation. It has the potential power to divert and deflect you from achieving your strategic goals and, if ignored or allowed to grow unchecked will diminish or eliminate your competitive advantage.
