Has anyone got a GB.web app working in n their web server (not local apache)

I'm with one.com same as this forum.

I read wiki how-to but still not getting anything.
I put the compiled gambas app in cgi-bin but when I try to access it it just downloads to download folder.

Could do with an example or 2

I want to make this a gambas web cgi if poss...
https://bws.org.uk/gambasmods.php

That page auto-creates from a folder structure...
there's a gmods folder containing the component name folders like gb.args gb.desktop.
in the component folders there are archives accompanied by a .txt file of the same name.
so there's Args.Advanced.zip and Args.Advanced.zip.txt

So i just now have to add archives and txt files to add the the collection..

wanna gambas it up though ;)

Is the gambas playground a gb.web thing?

The Playground is linked to Gambas.One. The work is done by a 'droplet' on Digital Ocean. Costs about $6 a month. You can start for free here. The droplet contains Ubuntu (no GUI). Ubuntu was picked so that we could use the ppa to keep Gambas updated. The project was the work of my friend Matt and is available here. A similar process is used for the Gambas Farm on Gambas.One.

Aah so if gambas is installed does that mean you can also run full on gb.web.form programs?
Seems a cool way to go and may be worth a look.

No luck trying to get gb.web cgi applications running online though?

Hi Bruce, could you explain why it didn't work at first and how you made it work.

I'm planning on running a Gambas based webserver myself somewhere in the near future.
I know it is very hard to find good documentation on how to set it up and get it working as I have been looking into this many times before.

I'll be running the Gambas based website on an Apache server as I have the most experience with running these.
Any help, links to documentation or whatever helped you get it running is much appreciated.
