Documentation

Presently this documentation is intended mainly for developers, who are already experienced in programming with EASY (Turbo Datenbank or Visual Data Publisher).

Fundamentals

For CGI-programming you don't need to have internet access. You can develop and test all programs offline. You can create an environment, which simulates the behavior of a normal web-server exactly. But you can also program in the web without the long way of ftp-up- and -downloads. At present we support following platforms:

Win95/98
Win NT (x86)
Linux (x86)
FreeBSD

Besides the tdbengine-package, you will also need a http-server like apache or iis. There are many http-servers around, with a majority being free, but several cost a hatful of money. The most popular http-server Apache is freeware.
Before you can get busy with the installation of the tdbengine-package, you must install an operational http-server on your computer. In addition you'll need any one webbrowser (Netscape, Explorer or others).

Test your system, by calling the URL: http:/localhost/ in your browser (without being online). The start page of your server should appear now.
