In the last 'Forum' we found out how to run the Web Form on a home computer but can anyone explain in detail the way to put it on the web.

Thanks

(Untested information)

You will need a server with Gambas installed on it. Since there are no hosting companies that provide that, you'll either have to
1. Set up a server in your own house
2. Rent a server from e.g. DigitalOcean | Cloud Infrastructure for Developers (staring at $5/moth)

Once you've got the server up and running with Gambas, you should set up a cron job to verify that the web app is running (it could crash, and it will not restart by itself).

The way to execute your web app is:

Then access your server's ip from your browser, and hopefully it will work

(For a home server, a RaspberryPi might do)

Of cource, this information is very basic. It might be better to run it through Apache or Nginx (not sure how this is done exactly), you'll probably do better with firewall and other server hardening measures.

ignorant post removed... please accept my sincere apologies... i will do better in the future... jfb

When hosting Gambas websites on Apache2 you need to understand how cgi scripting works.
See: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/cgi.html

Now, if you understand this, treat gambas webpages as cgi scripts and Apache2 will know what to do with them.
So, you will need to add a 'Handler' that contains the extensions of your Gambas webpages.

I have been researching this because in future I will be needing it.
I haven't actually done or tested any of above myself, but that is what my general understanding of the matter is.

Hope this helps hosting Gambas sites using Apache2

JFB , I did not see your edit before now. I am glad you recanted!

Thank you willy! This will also be helpful for me in the future I can manage to complete my CMS written in Gambas

CMS in Gambas…. Looking forward to seeing that  

Haha! Well, don't get your hopes up just yet

You have an example of gambas CMS here :




The code is here :

Wow! That's very impressive! I've seen the site before, but had no clue it was made with Gambas… I sure need to look at the code and see what you guys have been up to. Good job  :!:
