This is not yet the first phase of the bounty because: Quote: The CGI module - which is required to complete the bounty - is not working But I'm sure we'll see it soon Go Edgar, go  |

Re: AmigaOS4: AAMP 1.0 for AmiCygnix released. Edgar,
The text message that pops up telling what to add in devs/internet got away from me before I could cut and paste. Is there a place in the files I can find that? If it's in the install script, I missed it. Nor did I find it in any of the read-me's I looked at. Thanks. Paul |

Quote: This is part 1 of the bounty? Yes, but it is not complete. CGI is missing. @ kas1e Quote: What about speed ? Its works fine/fast ? I think speed is good, but it is not fast enough for hosting websites. The package is for development and to run local web projects. Works fine in my tests so far. But I'm sure, that not all web packages will work. Although I wanted to have maximum Unix compatibility, not everything could be implemented. @ virgola Quote: Looking forward to use it when I'll get back home to my Sam! Please install this version. A lot of things were fixed including the OWB problem @ 328gts Thanx for the donation @ Elwood Will continue with CGI asap, but first I need a break @ Paul Have a look at the file "install-data/AfterInstall.txt" in the installation package! |

Re: AmigaOS4: AAMP 1.0 for AmiCygnix released. Congratulations on getting this far, Edgar!
This is important in so many ways. I look forward to checking it out, even if I can't/won't use it as replacement for my current 1.3.33 Apache server just yet (non-working CGI, AmiCygnix dependance). But I am surprised to hear all the statements about it not being useful for "real" sites. Is this not intended eventually? E.g. the readme states: Quote: Minor problems: I can see why subprocesses in Apache are a problem under AmigaOS, or at least more difficult. Which (I assume) means that only one visitor at a time can be served. But I'm using the current Apache with this limitation just fine on a public site (well, not "public" public, only visited by family and friends, but still). But about InnoDB tables in MySQL, I fail to see why we wouldn't want to use those? Now, granted, I'm an Oracle guy in daily life myself, but I assume transactions in MySQL/InnoDB are basically equivalent to transactions in other databases, e.g. Oracle? I wouldn't want to develop any kind of database application without having transaction support in the database, even during development. So can you elaborate a bit on what the current problems are, and whether they can be solved? Best regards, Niels |

I look forward to checking it out, even if I can't/won't use it as replacement for my current 1.3.33 Apache server just yet (non-working CGI, AmiCygnix dependance). Some words about the native version I like to say: Although I know, that a lot of people are waiting for a native version, I cannot understand it. The AmiCygnix libraries do offer best Unix compatibility, which is not guaranteed in the following native version. And: This current package includes a minimalistic AmiCygnix package, that only needs 11 MB. The important question for me is, how much native should the native version be?? When I use the native locale libs, functions like setlocale(), localeconv() and also changing the locale with putenv("TZ", "...") will not work. When I use amiga style paths, most of the available web packages will refuse to work. I could add a lot more examples here. I think I have to create a poll to find out, what is expected from a native version. Quote: But I am surprised to hear all the statements about it not being useful for "real" sites. Is this not intended eventually? Yes, you're right. Without subprocesses, Apache can only handle one request after the other. When I say "real sites", I mean to host pages for a wide audience like other pages on the web. If only a few users do access the hosted pages, I think it is o.k. to use this AAMP package. It works fine in my local network. But: Because of several reasons I cannot recommend this AAMP package for hosting webpages. This starts with the low end hardware and continues with security problems on the Amiga. Even with implemented subprocesses I can't do that. Quote: But about InnoDB tables in MySQL, I fail to see why we wouldn't want to use those? Now, granted, I'm an Oracle guy in daily life myself, but I assume transactions in MySQL/InnoDB are basically equivalent to transactions in other databases, e.g. Oracle? I wouldn't want to develop any kind of database application without having transaction support in the database, even during development. I'm not a database specialist, but in my opinion, if you use AAMP only for development, you don't need things like transactions or row-level locking. I've made some stress tests with MyISAM tables - I never had any problems. And: InnoDB tables on Amiga are not the same than InnoDB tables on Unix systems. For example AmigaOS does not support partially file locking, which is a important requirement for InnoDB. The problem with InnoDB in AAMP is, that this storage driver launches about 10 subprocesses and they cannot be stopped. One reason: PThreads does not support pthread_kill(). I have to implement a special solution for this and I don't know, if I can do that. On the other hand, InnoDB seems to work good. Only on server startup the tables have to be checked. If you like, you could do some tests with InnoDB tables. I'm sure, you're knowledge is better than mine here. |

Re: AmigaOS4: AAMP 1.0 for AmiCygnix released. @cygnusEd,
About native version, my opinion is: this AAMP version need some AmiCygnix library, but it run without an active AmiCygnix so for me this very version is native. Otherwise for me it's like to say a MUI program it's not native. P.S. thanks for your great work |

Re: AmigaOS4: AAMP 1.0 for AmiCygnix released. Native <> AmiCygnix:
I am personally mainly interested in Apache (although I will of course also look forward to having MySQL available - PHP is completely outside my field of interest). The current Apache 1.3.33 port is what I consider native, i.e. it does not depend on AmiCygnix, so I don't have to spend time and effort finding out how AmiCygnix should be installed, set up and maintained, and what influences it has on my system. This sort of situation is what I'm hoping to see with the native version of Apache 2.x. Transaction support: To make a *very* crude analogy, saying that you don't need transaction support if you only want to develop is a bit like saying you don't need an oven while you're inventing your new bread recipe. Transactions are something you want to use whenever your application needs to update (insert, delete) more than one item as one logical change, where you want everything either committed or rolled back (in case of errors). This is something you want to code into your application from the start, so it needs to be available also in your development system. Row level locking, on the other hand, is not as important, since we won't normally have more than one session at a time anyway, so it's no problem to lock a whole table while updating. I assume the requirement for partial file locking is related to row level locking? If so, I'd say that is also less important. About pthread_kill(): Have you tried asking whether support for this is planned/in the works? Best regards, Niels |

Re: AmigaOS4: AAMP 1.0 for AmiCygnix released. @ nbache
To transactions: I think I misunderstood this feature completely . Had a look at the wikipedia pages and now I have a better understanding.BTW: Transactions should work in the current AAMP package. Quote: About pthread_kill(): Have you tried asking whether support for this is planned/in the works? No, I didn't. But as far as I know, it is not planned. Killing tasks is not possible on AmigaOS like on Unix systems. I'm afraid, I have to go an other way. |

Re: AmigaOS4: AAMP 1.0 for AmiCygnix released. Quote:
To transactions: I think I misunderstood this feature completely Ah, no wonder then Quote: Transactions should work in the current AAMP package. Good news! Quote: But as far as I know, it is not planned. Killing tasks is not possible on AmigaOS like on Unix systems. Hmm, that's too bad. I'm not familiar with pthreads, but it sounds strange that there wouldn't be a way to provide such functionality. Hope you find a good solution without having to do too much re-inventing of wheels.
