[opensuse] Anyone recognize "www-mysql"?
I'm transitioning someone's quite old server [Debian] to a new install. All going pretty well. But they server up some functionality using CGI scripts via Apache that use something referred to on the Debian box as the www-mysql package? This a binary that executes HTML pages containing embedded SQL statements. Anyone know where the source for this can be found or if it has a more specific name? The 'helpfulness' of search engines is getting in the way of finding the provenance of this code. -- System & Network Administrator [ LPI & NCLA ] <http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com> OpenGroupware Developer <http://www.opengroupware.us> Adam Tauno Williams -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

HI Christian, I was able to find a link to the source code at least. Maybe that'll help identifying what it is and what it does...

aH, OK, unfortunately the last upstream source was released in 1998.. and that's probably why it is not in the distribution. If you really need it, you can try to make a package, that might take a large effort, code older than 1 decade ago is unlikely to compile or run nowdays. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

FWIW, there's another copy of the source and some more info at http://archive.debian.net/woody/i386/www-mysql
From google, it also seems www-mysql doesn't like apache2.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=438897 It may be simpler to translate the HTML pages into some current-day templating/server-side-scripting engine and use that instead. If they are raw SQL queries without much fancy additional functionality, the pages can probably be mechanically translated fairly easily.
