Well, crud. I downloaded the 0.4, then saw references to 0.5, but now I'm not sure which one would be stable enough.

Actually, I was originally just looking for a mySql dotpup -- I managed to get both Kismet and gpsdrive up and running, but they only talk to each other through mySql. But after looking at what this one seems to do, I figured I'd go for it -- I've got some php code behind one of my web pages and it would be nice to test it offline instead of subjecting the entire world to "expected ;" and the rest of the habitual errors my code generates on its first try. Not that the <10 visitors a day would notice.

Any stability problems with 0.4 that would keep me from installing? Also, is any validation available that the 0.4 I downloaded matches everyone else's? There are some hackish references in the thread -- the author seems to be a white-hat good guy hacker, but sometimes the good guy is the target... I know, overly paranoid, but I love my puppy and I don't want it to get sick!

Hi,
Has anyone tried installing webenv on puppy 2.02? Nothing works since it fails the "losetup-FULL" command (at the beggining of the rc.webenv script).

try to replace losetup-FULL with losetup
**edit - no won't work**

I made some changes to webenv 0.4, and call it 0.5, as it is unmaintained.

Note:
I will NOT maintain this dotpup, so feel free to modify/enhance it on your own.
I also will not answer questions concerning PHP/MySQL and such, as that was my job some years ago

I only made this change:
I installed the old webenv 0.4 in Puppy 109 to get the files in the squashfs, as I could not mount it in Puppy2. Then made a new dotpup of these extracted files.
This dotpup works in Puppy 2 ONLY, do NOT install it in Puppy 1, it could break things

It now is a "normal" program, without "inbuilt" squashfs.
It needs 15 MB.

You can start/stop the servers by typing "webenv" (or from the dotpups-menu, but then you don't see the messages).

Download (4.4 MB):
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Internet/Webe ... 2-only.pup

Note:
if you want to stop it automatically when Puppy shuts down, edit the scripts in /etc/webenv, I had no time yet to adapt them.

Thanks, MU. I realize now that there is one little detail that caused problems in the past for me, the htaccess in one of my subdirectories. Will retry this package.

So it is for 2+ Puppy now, but could you please clarify this:

installed it in Puppy 109, then made a dotpup of these extracted file

Thanks again!

ok, clarified
It actually only won't work in Puppy 1, as it extracts files to /etc.
As /etc is a symlink in Puppy1, that can crash Puppy 1 due to bugs in the old unionfs, when extracting archives.
This could be changed of course, there is no real need to have them in /etc.

But in Puppy1 you still can use webenv 0.4, as it is identical concerning the "features", so I saw no need to start changing the directory structure.
As the start/stop scripts of Puppy 1 and 2 differ, I prefered to make a different dotpup from scratch, to avoid potential problems.
Costal had used a quite tricky script, to go around these problems in Puppy1, but right this part (inbuilt squashfs/unionfs) I had to remove, in order to get it working in Puppy2.

Hi all,

seems to be a bug in the network-code of lighttpd with Kernel 2.6.
Compiled two newer versions, same problem.
See /root/www/log/lighttpd.error.log

I found only this reference:
http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/ticket/328

I don't understand the code enough to fix it myself

This works great MU. However, I have no use for mysql & I imagine others do not as well.
so here is a cherokee unleashed pakg. Install using pupget as an alien pkg.

I wanted scaledown version of PHP which is included in webenv-0.4. I have downloaded the package, but can not install it using pet package manager and can not get pupget. I tried to convert pup2pet, but it asks for executable file which I do not know.
Please tell me how to install pup packages in puppy 4.2.
Can you send me .pet package ?
I need this urgently.
Please help
