CGI MySQL Drivers What next?

[Alex Shaw]

Hi Jim

I don't use MySQL but this works for me on linux with SQLite..

Assuming you have your script in cgi-bin. First, upload the entire linux 
"Externals" folder from your "Runtime/Linux/x86-32" folder to "cgi-bin"

Then call this function near the beginning of startup:

COMMAND loadExternals
     set the externals of the templatestack to "cgi-bin/Externals/revdb.so"
     create stack "externals"
     start using stack "externals"
     revSetDatabaseDriverPath "cgi-bin/Externals"
END loadExternals
