Si, lo sé.

Lo que no me esperaba es que mintiera, esperaba que se lo inventará.

Intentaré arreglarlo diciéndole:

"Básate sólo en los recursos que realmente existan, y recuerda, tienes prohibido mentir." (me va a engañar igual).

En fin, me voy de comida de Navidad.

Muy Felicites Fiestas a todos.

Un Saludo

Bon dia,

Parece ser que Hix no soporta "APPEND FROM ( cOldDbf )" --->>> __dbApp( ( cOldDbf ), { },,,,, .F.,,, )

Obtengo:

Error BASE/EG_ARG(1) 6101 Description Unknown or unregistered function symbol Operation __DBAPP

Can HIX be installed on a Windows 11 Pro computer, or does it need an Apache server ?

I looked at the documentation but it doesn't answer that question.

What about the other services you are integrating with it ?

IF YES: What are the requirements for a computer that can be used, ie. Processor, RAM, SSD capacity ?

Thank you.

Hi,

Thank you for your question.

HIX is a standalone web server and does not require Apache or any other external web server to run. It can be installed and executed directly on a Windows 11 Pro computer without issues.

Regarding system requirements: The actual requirements will depend on the number of concurrent users, API usage, and especially the access frequency to the database. However, as a general rule, if your computer can run Windows smoothly, it should be more than sufficient to run HIX for development or small-to-medium production environments.

Let me know if you'd like help configuring or testing HIX.

Best regards, Osvaldo Ramirez HNY-2026

Hi Osvaldo,

thanks for the clear answer — that basically settles the server question: Great, we have the server.

My simple follow-up question is:

What do we do about release anxiety?

I don’t mean this ironically. This anxiety is well known in software engineering: it usually doesn’t come from bad code, but from uncertainty around going public — infrastructure, security, load, and failure cases.

This is where many beginners get stuck: the server runs locally, the application works, but go-live still feels unsafe.

That’s why a simple, reproducible reference setup might help more than another feature post:

This is how we put HIX safely on the Internet — and go live.

One important part of this is GDPR: even with a web firewall or tunnel, questions remain about TLS termination, data visibility, and end-to-end encryption.

A clearly documented standard setup would reduce uncertainty and make go-live much easier, especially for newcomers.

Best regards, Otto

PS:

For context: the release anxiety mentioned here is well supported by software-engineering research. Multiple peer-reviewed studies show that developer stress and anxiety are driven primarily by unclear production, security, and infrastructure models, not by weak code.

Examples include:

Graziotin et al., On the Unhappiness of Software Developers (2017)

Suárez & Vizcaíno, Stress, Motivation, and Performance in Software Engineering

Godliauskas & Ĺ mite, The Well-Being of Software Engineers: A Systematic Literature Review

Kurian et al., Perceived Stress and Fatigue in Software Developers

These studies consistently conclude that the more transparent and understandable go-live and security architectures are, the lower the release anxiety — especially for beginners.

Otto,

If you wanna help out with HIX, throw in some ideas, goals, solutions ! ... you're more than welcome. If not, you can keep doing your Harbourinu thing in another thread.

No need to drop references to books and authors that the AI gives you—chances are you don't even know them anyway.

Honestly, in the end your constant insistence always gets tiring…

Happy 2026!

C.

Hello Charly,

I’d like to address two things clearly.

First: There is currently no shared or documented solution here for the go-live / infrastructure problem. That’s not an opinion or criticism — it’s simply the factual state of this thread.

Second — and this is important: please don’t frame technical concerns as personal agendas.

Raising questions about infrastructure, security, GDPR, and go-live readiness is not “insistence”, not a personality issue, and not an attempt to steer HIX. It’s a legitimate technical discussion — especially for beginners.

Also, just to be explicit: GDPR applies in Spain as well. So questions about encryption, data visibility, and responsibility are not optional or country-dependent.

I’m fine ending the discussion here, but I won’t accept personal framing in place of technical answers.

Best regards, Otto

Correct.

Once the entire working model is finalized, it may be ported to Linux.
