Re. meta -- Peter, that follows the one dictionary definition* that 
seems to fit -- "used with the name of a discipline to designate 
a new but related discipline designed to deal critically with the 
original one" -- so metadata is new data used to describe (or deal 
critically with) data, right?

If that holds -- does a Rebol header contain meta-values?  Is RSS 
meta-content of a web site?  Is this discussion meta-meta?  (ok, 
too far...)

Help: after 6 hours configuration I couldn't run rebol/pro on my 
dedicated webserver (IIs6). does anybody have a install tip ?ps: 
the taskmanager shows reppro.exe running but did'nt terminate the 
exe nor deliver the page. I tried also different script header and 
examples from the docs.

Seems a lot of people have problems getting rebol cgi working with 
IIS

yes, tried with  path/rebpro.exe" -cs %s %s"  nothing change, the 
exe is running but did'nt deliver until timeout...

Have you tried looking at the error logs?

from the mailing list

Windows generally uses the registry for mapping to extension.
Try looking for something as follows under "regedit":


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE    System       CurrentControlSet          Services

W3Svc               Parameters                 Script_Map Once there 
you

wantto EDIT --> New --> String Value to add a new extension association 
of

   ".cgi" Then MODIFY the new ".cgi" entry to associated it with the 
   rebol
executable, eg

   "C:\rebol\rebol.exe %s %s" Here "C:\rebol\" may be different on your
system and note that you must end with .exe.

Now restart the computer to get the new setting.

After that any script in a directory that the server sees as EXECUTABLE 
(eg,

the default "scripts" directory) which ends in *.cgi will be sent 
to the
rebol interpreter.

Best
YekSoon, keeping my fingers crossed.

thanks for the tip, will try it immediatly...

better read the whole thread

more on IIS setup : http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore-13.html#section-13.1

very frustating, the script is invoking the rebpro.exe but doesn't 
release it nor deliver anything. I have tried nearly all combinations 
without any result. I thougt rebol is a perfect cgi engine, so I 
miss a - up to date - step by step instruction for all major webserver. 
the message board content indicate a need for this.

have you got the slashes the right way round?

all directions with,withou space etc.

can you get any other cgi working eg. perl ?

yes, I wrote a exe with powerbasic, working fine. have added the 
webserver extension for .r -> rebpro.exe" -cs %s %s" and even the 
execute permissions...

ps: the current control set in the reg-key isn't present. I guess 
the mapping is done complettly by the weberserver settings.

Perhaps is not the same thing!. To execute a  cgi "exe" file, IIS 
don't need to know where is an interpreter like rebpro.exe or perl.exe

just downloaded a small php-script. this one is running.

are there more flagg beside the -cs ?

type USAGE on the rebol console

t= not provided

sorry, I mean under rebpro.exe (sdk) usage is not provided. made 
it with core and can see it. thanks will try these last combinations. 
thanks again

install rebol for IIS6: set this path ->  C:\Rebol\rebpro.exe "-cs" 
%s  in  application configuration panel. the extension can be .r 
or .cgi. it is not nessesary to set the extension additional in the 
webserver extension module. ps: double %s %s don't work.  thanks 
for the help to alberto and graham and ammon.

%s %s does work. it's how mine is set up. Preferable to not use .r 
extension on IIS, otherwise it gets confused when when you just have 
a script for someone to download.

are you using IIS6 ?

yes. have installed on everything from iis3 - 6 over the years

just going to verifty current settings.brb

do you have norton virus checker? I've had issues with the script-block 
feature blocking some com object execution on server.

yes, but the problem is now solved allen, the path I mentioned above 
is running fine now. (after 7 hour's of trying) ;-)))

Don't you love IIS? :-)

I like the admin-gui but on my developer machine I always use apache.

ok. great. At least on IIS you don't have to worry about adding the 
!path in each script. but I'd rather be on apache.

Apache is much nicer to play with. ;-)

as soon I collected enough rebol knowledge I jump (lightling fast) 
to linux :-))

waiting for some more lazy rebol tools, for a lazy developer...

plis source proces viewer for windows

Paul Tretter might have started on one, but I don't know for sure 
of any that exist.

No compiler available, Micha.  You can encap your scripts  -- see 
the REBOL.com website for details.

didn't someone .. Gregg maybe have a sanctioned  encapping service

If you set up your encapping service right then it falls within the 
limitations of the encap license.  I planned on setting up a service 
but never did.  I did talk to RT about it and they didn't have a 
problem with the structure that I was setting up.

well micha may be your test subject
