Lua scripting language

[Eni]

Hi, I just downloaded and installed AWS, and I'd choose it over Apache any day any time !! (^^)V !! It's simple, small and clean, very nice indeed (^^).

With Apache I could use mod_lua.so, but with AWS there is no Lua scripting feature, so I was just wondering whether anyone would be interested in or know how to create an application/library for use as cgi/isapi in AWS??

The easiest method (and the only method I can think of) would be an application that is dynamically linked to luaxx.dll and that this app would be some kind of server, or what I should call it, a bridge between AWS and Lua.

Just adding c:\lua\bin\lua.exe as a scripting interpreter won't work (what a shame!) so someone would have to make that app/lib to link to in AWS.

Unfortunately (and I really mean UNFORTUNATELY), I'm not a programmer, so I have no idea how to do this (T-T), I'm a designer, my job (and what I'm damn good at) is design, making and developing new ideas and concepts (^^) so no luck there. IF I knew programming, I wouldn't waste a second, I'd create the app/lib immediately!! Lua is small (lua5.0 ~200kb, lua5.1-work6 ~800kb), clean, fast, simple, secure, efficient, simply one of the best scripting languages ever (^.^) it doesn't have fancy stuff like php, ruby and other languages, but it's still incredible good (^^)!

LESS IS MORE!!!!

I dont think Abyss supports this language yet but if you get in touch with Aprelium and let them know about it I'm sure they can make this available as a language in the next release.

Abyss currently works with the favourite languages, PHP, AHTML, Python and Perl but a few others have been reported to work.

CGILua is definately no good, the way it works and handles LUa is crap (T T), mod_lua.so for Apache was a lot better, it simply sent any Lua code straight to the Lua interpreter, and that's all. You just installed mod_lua.so and you could then start to write LHTML documents where you embed Lua with <?lua ?> or use pure Lua documents where the entire document is treated as Lua. The best thing was that it could even run compiled Lua bytecode. It contained no configurations, no nothing, just raw support for Lua.

CGILua is, well...horrible, there's no other word for it! So whatever you do, stay away from CGILua, it's no good (X-X). The only hope now is a simple CGI library. If either anyone at Aprelium or anyone here in the forum is interested in trying, let me know, I'd love to design the library, how it's suppsoed to work, I do have a few ideas (^^).

Lua works just fine on Abyss Web Server , if anyone can get something to work
on Abyss Web Server , its either me or Aprelium lol. Enjoy having your Lua. :-)

01. Download the Win32 Binary from.
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=73737

02. Install Lua into C:\Lua

03. Open your Abyss Web Server console and click on "Scripting Parameters"
and click Add in the Interpreters table and follow my settings , its simple. :-)

Interpreter: C:\Lua\lua5.exe [The 5 is the version #]

Type: Standard [I believe this is correct.]

Associated Extensions: lua

Now exit "Scripting Parameters" and click Index Files , type index.lua and
restart Abyss Web Server , now we will create a simple lua "Hello, World!"

Lua "Hello, World!" Example [hello.lua]

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey, even the standard lua binaries worked, the problem was that I didn't write:

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

it that something exclusively AWS, haven't had to write anything like that before. Lol, one simple string (^^)

[TRUSTAbyss]

No , scripting languages that are similar to Perl don't automaticly add the
Content header to your scripts like PHP does so you have to add it , ok ?

Sincerely , TRUSTpunk

Don't take it personal but I've known Abyss for over 2 years by now.

Remember , I used to be nicknamed as "os17fan"

I have very good web server skills when it comes to helping people get
something installed on Abyss Web Server , sorry if it sounded that way.
