[a lot of OS crap snipped]
Can we all just agree that no matter what platform or operating system you
choose, incompetent people can be found to administer it for you. That's
what we are here for, to weed out incompetence. Today you get the chance to
tackle some of mine.
I am about to get my new G4 with OS/9 (a 450 BTW *mumbles profanities to
self*) and will be initially using it for a quick and dirty web page
project. Basically it will consist of a single form that calls a CGI script
(probably written in Perl). The CGI will run another program, format the
results and mail them to an address submitted on the form. I have never set
up a webserver on a mac and would like advice on a cheap (ie free) webserver
and a way to send mail from a CGI script on a Mac (maybe this is built into
Perl?).
Another approach would be to do the web stuff on my existing NT/IIS
webserver (where I already know how to do all this) and just call the Mac
for the program (which is Mac-only by the way). Is there an easy way to have
an NT machine ask a Mac to run a program for it, something like rsh or
rexec?
Thanks win-maccers,
jbh
P.S. Apple has a monopoly over mac users, so why aren't they being
investigated?
