Installing Irie Pascal CGI programs
Web Programming with Irie Pascal
Apache Web Servers
In order to use Irie Pascal CGI programs on your Apache web server
(Linux, Solaris/Sparc, Solaris/x86, FreeBSD only), you first need to install the
Irie Virtual Machine (IVM) interpreter (i.e. the ivm file)
on the web server.
If you have not yet downloaded Irie Pascal, go to the Irie Pascal download page.
To install the interpreter on the web server, you have to put it in a suitable directory.
I have my own web server
If you have your own web server then you have a lot of freedom to decide on a suitable installation directory. In this case your primary concern is making sure that this directory is protected from unauthorised access.
I don't have my own web server
If you do not have your own server, then you will probably have to ask the web server administrator to install the interpreter for you.
If you plan to use Irie Pascal CGI programs on a shared web host then
you are likely to have problems getting the ivm file installed on the web server.
Configuring Apache
Finally you have to configure the web server so that is uses the IVM interpreter to execute Irie Pascal CGI applications.
IIS Web Servers
In order to use Irie Pascal CGI programs on your IIS web server
(Windows only), you first need to install the
Irie Run Time Engine (i.e. IrieRT26.dll on the web server.
If you have not yet downloaded Irie Pascal, go to the Irie Pascal download page.
To install the run time engine on the web server, you have to put it in a suitable directory.
This can be the Windows System32 directory or any directory in the PATH.
After this just follow the standard procedures for using CGI programs on IIS. Make sure the "Execute Permissions" on the directory with your CGI programs is set to "Scrips and Executables".
.EXE CGI programs
You should always compile your Irie Pascal CGI programs into .EXE files.
