Please clarify: mod_harbour CGI is an EXE, right? So it still cannot be run on most commercial web space providers, sorry.

Dear Enrico,

If the hosting company allows CGI execution, then you can run mod_harbour from it using this new mod_harbour CGI version

This mod_harbour CGI version is an executable fully compatible with the mod_harbour version for Apache

That's exactly what I was afraid of. Most of commercial web space providers don't allow to run CGI EXE. So we cannot use mod_harbour.

Bluehost allows it, I am testing it from there

Surely other hosting companies may allow CGI execution too. Maybe not all of them, but some may allow it for sure

We need to find how to make it work for free from Google Colab and/or GitHub and others

We need to provide such power to Harbour users

Hello Enrico,
Just out of curiosity.
Why is a VPS or self-hosting not a solution for you?
Best regards,
Otto

Usually I have to use the existing customer web spaces. I cannot tell my customers to change their providers just to allow my mod_harbour web apps to work, can I?

Dear Enrico,

What providers are those ?

I am curious to check them

I have had servers in aruba (windows and linux) for a long time and it is where I do the tests and developments of modHarbour (with and without CGI)

I'm not talking about dedicated servers but web spaces. Aruba doesn't allow to run CGI EXEs from their web spaces. Most of my customers have web spaces from various providers or company web servers that doesn't allow CGI EXE to run for company policy.

We should get mod_harbour to be part of the common packages that Apache installs by default

It would be great for a start. But what about IIS?
