Alternative to Slinger Web Server (QNX 6)?

I recall hearing someone mention a web server ported
to QNX 6, but I cannot find the message describing it.

What is the port, and where can I find it?

I have been working with slinger and learning all of its idosynchronicies.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of Apachie over slinger.

slinger has a smaller footprint and has the ds stuff for an easy method
of setting/getting simple data. It’ll probably work for many simple web
sites. Apache has a lot of extensions (modules) like secure connections,
integreated perl or php interpreters. It also supports user
login/password access type stuff and a whole lot more.

Thanks for the info. Here’s a follow-up question. You mention secure
connections. I’m assuming that you mean https: type pages. I’m doing a
shopping cart app. After checking out we are planning to link to secure
credit card processor. Their server is secure. So far, nothing I see tells
me that slinger is inadaquite. If our pages are not secure pages, we don’t
need apachie. Is that correct?

On the other hand, if we do decide to use apachie, can I assume that all of
our cgi scripts will still work as is?

Should be true.

OK. I downloaded Apache from OSDN. The files in the archive were all
relitive (which I believe is a good thing). The seemed to touch on all
different first level directories so I installed in into my root dir ‘/’ so
that etc = /etc, etc.

Now i’m reading some of it’s docs. It implies that it should have its
config files in /usr/local/… but most of the config files (I think) went
into /etc/httpd.

Did I install this archive incorrectly?

Or, should I have installed from a different web site?

I’ve always installed under “/usr/local/apache”, but I am using the version
provided by Empress with their RDBMS. I’m using their HTML toolkit to
retrieve data from their SQL database and display via web pages. It’s
pretty cool, but I am still writing scripts to update the database as I am
concerned about concurrent user access and the control the HTML tags give me
is insufficient.
