Re: Any demand for a webserver for the it?
 

With regard to an SDK - the INdT Maemo SDK VMware Appliance (I think there's a matching QEMU image as well) is quite useful, since it makes it possible to skip the somewhat-complicated setup process for Scratchbox. Non-gui applications should recompile very easily in this SDK, theoeretically without changes, so try rebuilding the source of a debian package. (apt-get source yourserver, copy the files into the scratchbox directory, dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot )

If MYSql is not a requisite, you should just use SQLite. A package is available together with the metasploit installation,

I have tries to install PHP on my n800 with no success.

I have installed:
http://maemo-hackers.org/php5-fastcgi.install (PHP5)
http://maemo-hackers.org/nginx.install (HTTP Server)

I then tried to run a PHP file from the built in browser and only got a display of the contents of my PHP file.

Please be gentle and kind, I am a Windows guy (although I do like a good ribbing)!!

How would I go about this??

Thanks

I have found a listing that says I should update /etc/nginx/mime.types to include:
application/x-httpd-php .php

I'm attempting to do this, but seem to have a permissions problem.

BTW:
vi on a virtual keypad is more fun than should be legal!! (where is the ESC key!!)

It is the hardware "back/cancel" key.

This is a FAQ, BTW :-)

Re: Any demand for a webserver for the it?
 

Do you know where the FAQ page is located??

Re: Any demand for a webserver for the it?
 

That is a FAQ too :-)

No, seriously, theses forums are one gigantic FAQ page. Not very well organized as such, but with almost two years of accumulated wisdom by 770 and N800 users. AND there is a Search function in the menu at the top of the page...

The fact that wave after wave of eager new users, coming aboard after the recent flash sale of the 770 inventory, just barge in as if they're the very first, and create new threads to ask the same old questions over and over again, certainly doesn't help those who DO use said Search function...

Just try "escape key" : you'll get three pages of answers going from January 2006 to last month.

Re: Any demand for a webserver for the it?
 

Sometimes the search is frustrating and time consuming - I think an FAQ wiki would be very useful. Posters in the forum could be directed to the appropriate FAQ which should cut down a bit on the clutter here you mentioned.

I'd even be willing to start and host such a beast - but don't want to duplicate efforts if someone else already has. The http://maemo.org/community/wiki/ is aimed at developers rather than users it methinks.
