NeXTStep Webserver

Hi

does anyone knows how toinstall and configure a Webserver in a NeXTStep 3.3 and also what other package can I use to create http pages without the hassle of editing html code


thanks

Your quickest bet would be to just read thru this thread

as it's mostly a change log on all the packages I've created for NEXTSTEP/OPENSTEP.  You'll find the url to my web site.  You can download all the required packages, basically for apache to work correctly, you'd need prngd, the openssl-zlib combo package, and then apache itself.  See the readme in the packages directory on setting up prngd/apache on boot up in /etc/rc.local.  From there, create html & enjoy. :-D  I've been running the same package on my Sparc 5 running OPENSTEP 4.2 for quite sometime.  It even handles the pages created in iWeb.  But OmniWeb didn't care for them too much.  Feel free to post/email me if you have questions.  I try to keep most everything upto date as possible & 99% of the stuff is compiled for all the different arch's.  Take care.

Thanks, great job, keeping all this pgks already compiled,

which DDNS service can I use with my NS 3.3 as most of them requires a client running on the host

Thanks

any ideas about what DDNS client t use in NS 3.3

Thanks

I've used ddclient in the past w/ no problems w/ dyndns.org.   I've tried a few others in the past as well.  I'll dig thru my archives.  I think I still have ddclient on my m68k box.  If not, I can make a new package when I get a chance.  Good luck w/ the web server.  It's really pretty easy to get going.

hi

any ideas where to find a ddclient precompiled for NS 3.3?

Thanks

Edit:

I got finally my web server up and running apache, many thanks to kb7sqi who got a very good collection of pkg and for his job compiling all this

:( but still in a need of a ddclient (dynamic dns client for NS 3.3)

Ok.  ddclient is a straight perl thing, so I'll leave that for you.  You'll find inadyn-1.96.2 in my packages directory.  It's a BASIC & I MEAN BASIC, DynDNS client.  No mx records, ssl, etc.  But it works.  My router automatically takes care of this problem for me, so I haven't needed a client for NEXTSTEP/OPENSTEP for quite sometime.  This works, I just tested it on my domains.  Enjoy.  Take care.
