windows install
hi David-
I decided to try using the simplest way to install this and see what happened.
When you use the windows installer you have the option to be able to modify
httpd.conf automatically. This time i chose not to modify httpd.conf
automatically.
I only put these 3 lines at the very bottom of httpd.conf per the website
documentation.
LoadModule rivet_module "c:/program files/apache
group/apache/modules/mod_rivet.so"
AddType application/x-httpd-rivet .rvt
AddType application/x-rivet-tcl .tcl
Here is the address i put in my browser.
http://localhost/hello.rvt
I had copied the file hello.rvt over from the tests directory.
apache sets the document root to "c:/program files/apache group/apache/htdocs"
This is what is displayed in my browser.
<?
# hello-1.1
puts "Hello, World\n"
# i18n-1.1
puts "¡ À È Ì Ò Ù - El Burro Sabe Más Que Tú!\n"
?>
<p>ÆüËܸì(EUC-JP Japanese text)</p>
Now i know it is suppose to look different than this.
When i run the apache.exe it says rivet running...
and it is displaying the .html files in htdocs fine in the browser.
It just doesnt seem to recognize the .rvt files properly
in the htdocs directory.
Any ideas on a small change i can make so that it displays
correctly?
If someone can help me to get this to display correctly
than my next step would be to buy an apache book from
amazon. ISBN: 1590593553 looks like it might be a good choice.
It sounds like they try and keep the book info at a basic level.
thanks very much for all your help!
jim

The installer adds the following (pretty much).
LoadModule rivet_module modules/mod_rivet.so
<IfModule mod_rivet.c>
~ RivetServerConf CacheSize 50
~ AddType application/x-httpd-rivet .rvt
~ AddType application/x-rivet-tcl .tcl
</IfModule>
You need that RivetServerConf line (or at least it was required once upon a
time). You should also ensure that the global PATH contains the location of your
Tcl installation. It is not enough to have it in your user PATH - it has to go
in the All Users environment as Apache will get started as the SYSTEM user and
rivet has to find tcl84.dll. It also needs to be tcl84 not some other version.
A good test to check it Apache can run tcl at all is to create a cgi script with
~ #!tclsh
~ puts "Content-type: text/plain\n"
~ puts "[info patchlevel]"
Assuming your Apache configuration is setup ok this should show the tcl version.
You can also try the printenv.pl script if you have perl installed.
Hopefully that can help.

This is indicative that it's not grokking the right type for the .rvt
file.
What do your log files say?
Pat, you have any ideas? (Pat is our resident windows guy)

I don't think most of those books cover Rivet, unfortunately, although
they still contain lots of useful things. Rivet is certainly meant to
be used within the Apache environment, so you can use it alongside
other Apache modules to do cool things.
