NeoWebScript Version 3.0 (and up) The Latest Version ------------------ Details of the latest version can be found on the NeoWebScript HTTP server page at http://www.neowebscript.com/. Installation ------------ To build and install a new version, execute the following commands in order: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache make make install This will build the Apache-1.3.6 webserver, Tcl8.1.1-lite (enough Tcl to run the NeoWebScript extensions), the NeoWebScript modules, and installs everything into /usr/local/apache/. This directory must exist and you must have write access to it (or you must have write access to /usr/local). The best way to do this is: % su # mkdir /usr/local/apache # chown (you) /usr/local/apache # exit % ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache % make % make install Upgrades -------- If you are upgrading from a previous release of NeoWebScript (2.3 or lower), see the README.db185 for information on converting your existing database files. Building TK ----------- By default, NeoWebScript comes with the necesary files to build the TK Toolkit extension to TCL. Also by default, these are not built when the webserver is built as they are not needed for the server. You can build TK with the server by specifying the --with-tk option to the configure script. ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --with-tk Licensing --------- Please see the file called LICENSE, and various LICENSE, license.terms, and README files in the source distribution.
