OK
You said "15-november" :

Okay, my READ-IO emulation has been removed in the last version. 
I've replaced it with a safe 'cgi-read-io function. I plan to put 
it back soon, I think I know how to make it work reliably now.


I need a cheyenne.exe with this done. Is there one somewhere or do 
you need to build it ?

Did you tried by just replacing the READ-IO occurences in your CGI 
with CGI-READ-IO to see if that fixes the problem ?

Ah, didn't understand that it was me that must put CGI-READ-IO in 
my script !

That was one of the options, the other is me writing a good READ-IO 
emulation for CGI (that won't happen soon...lack of time).

Assuming my ISP is running Linux, what do I have to get them to do 
to be able to run Cheyenne? (if this is all doc'ed, just point me 
to the URL ... thanks).

don't many ISPs allow you to get a full VM configured as you like?

Ashley .. most ISPs won't allow you to run a daemon

but all you need is the cheyenne distro, and rebol.

You can setup your own vm for $20 / month on slicehost.com

Are you using them Graham?

No ... I'm not,  But they're cheaper than my current host which I 
have had for 16 years now!

So, I'm looking to change.

any good words about them?

They get very good reviews

on tech forums

interesting

They were recently bought out by rackspace ... so we will see if 
that changes anything.

I would like to hear more if someone gets to use Cheyenne on them. 
(as I deeply miss a high bandwidth, high uptime Cheyenne host).

maybe if we all contribute a few $$ each , we can get a slice we 
can all share for REbol scripts

have Cheyenne ... and each person runs their own vhosts

I'd chip in

That will stress doc out!! LOL

I'm up for $20

We can now run it for 2 months!

Did Carl see it when it was discussed to change host?

Richard offered a free host .. so it was not discussed.  however 
Richard has now gone awol

If I can get 12 people .. viz. a year .. I'll start the process of 
ordering a slice.

I'm going to suggest ubuntun server as the OS.

Ubuntu

At that price, it seems like a steal. The question down the road 
is, who is stealing from who. :-)

Well, we could use EC2 ... but that's $70/month

we would have to have someone who is very intimate wth Cheyenne to 
run the Cheyenne side.

All my stuff is hosted on http://www.webarama.com.au/and they've 
been pretty amenable to my other requests. Is it just a case of getting 
them to "install" REBOL for me much as Perl is? If so, which version 
of REBOL do I need? Can I get away with /base?

what about a DB?

core ... and just place it in /bin directory

the $20 slice includes just 256MB of RAM

256mb is heaps

for DB too?

sure ...

we can easily apt-get mysql

what were you thinking of running?

don't have anything specific at this time - just thinking ahead

the good thing is .. you just pay a litle more to get more ram

how much more?

price, I mean

Ashley: If you intend to run Cheyenne on port 80, it requires root 
privileges, will your ISP allow REBOL or encapped Cheyenne to run 
as root? (There's an option in Cheyenne to "su" to another uid/gid 
but it was never tested in production).

Graham, I would recommend Linode over Slicehost.

I have used both. Linode offers you much more flexibility in controlling 
your VPS. For example, you can have multiple disk images at the same 
time (although only one can be active).

Also, Linode provides more RAM and disk space for the same price, 
and in my experience has somewhat better performance.
