| Having played a bit with Logo, Basic, and Pascal in the 80s and early 90s and starting again with Python earlier this year, I'm trying to make a commitment to learn Arc as a counterpoint to Python and I'm finding a steep learning curve. Which is motivating in its own way, but points up the need for some server basics. I run a number of websites and managed to get a CentOS server running on my own, but as yet haven't had to grapple with BIND and the only language I ever installed without a Linux package manager was Python on the same Mac, but that was some time ago. I can certainly run MzScheme and Arc from local directories, but I'm trying to get the demo web apps to work in localhost and on a running-connected-to-the-tubes-server and, as usual, running into challenges I haven't faced before. As usual, I'll probably figure it out and, if not for this post, would never bother to note the need for such a howto, let alone actually write up a howto. If anyone else wants to beat me to it, please do. Preferably, before I figure it out ;-) |
