I could use some help getting asv to run on Windows too. First I encountered the "The syntax of the command is incorrect" mkdir error, and used the fix from the http://jfkbits.blogspot.com/2008/01/digging-into-arc-in-24-m... blog post. Then I got the error open-output-file: cannot open output file: \"C:/tmp/shashCTtuJ1S8v7\", which I fixed by deleting "/tmp/" from the shash function in app.arc. Then the server started up but died a few seconds later with "srv thread took too long", same as in the 24 macros blog posting. I ran into this with both the original Arc download and the latest git repository version.
Does the web server run successfully on Windows, or should I stick to Linux? And if it runs on Windows, what's the secret?
Impressed...by the walkthru on your link. I took the easy route for the failing mkdir and just created it from the command line.
I'm still confused how you're getting the server port open and I'm not. But then you don't seem to be having the problem with the shell out to the date command that I'm getting, so maybe you are running under cygwin?
