RunRev as RevServer &/or CGI engine

[Björnke von Gierke]

co-location servers general don't allow to open sockets. so on-rev can't do it at all. I think cgi's can do it tho, if the relevant settings are friendly on the apache side.

To get the old cgi versions of rev, mail support. I think there's no additional license required, but again, support knows more.

Nothing I've tried has the open socket succeed, while the same simple script will work on the desktop, and opening the socket from another language (python as a CGI) does work fine. It is listed in the docs as being on "Desktop, Server and Web" but doesn't seem to be working for now.

So does anyone have explicit instrucitons on how to install rev as cgi on on-rev.com?
