I have apache running and hosting a web site on my iPhone.

How cool is that.

thanks the the great peeps behind installer.app, I also have perl, ruby and python.

How did you get apache - perl - ruby - and - python to run? I can't find them to run them.

Thanks

use the auto installer.

First ssh installer.app on to you iPhone.

After that you may have to update the community sources a few time. After that Perl, Ruby, Python, and Apache should be in the install list

Check out iShapeShifter to install themes from installer.app

I installed ruby from the installer.app but no icons or anything that showed it was installed beside on the installer.app list. I'll give it a try.
Thanks

Freakin iPhone. Ruby Perl etc have been out for a bit, very cool stuff.

Now if only we could get some sort of Dynamic DNS update and you could run a full fledged web server with a working domain. I think At&t ain't gonna be happy about this.

How do you use python? It installs it, but I haven't the slightest clue on how to use it.

Thanks in advance!

python is a scripting language.

i assume you are ysing your phone on your home network, otherwise you couldnt get calls as edge would always be active?

I saw that Apache app in the installer. I guess it's cool, but we all know that is the most pointless thing ever. Admin access to a remote apache server would be way faster, useful, and wouldn't jam up your EDGE nor WiFi.

Really pointless IMO, but good proof of concept

It's actually very useful for serving pdf files and locally-stored web pages to safari. I wish it worked better.

I need to try it

Bingo, that's primarily what I use it for. Most times Apache isn't even loaded (UIctl load/unload -w).

I keep, for instance, many PDFs that I need to reference on the iPhone. Right now I access them by name (

And if I do need access from a PC on the same WLAN I'll use it the same way.

But the bottom line is that it doesn't have to be used as one might think--and having it is a nice option to have around.
