Hi all,

When I tried to post this to borland.public.delphi.internet I got the error
that said I do not have posting access to the newgrouop... ???

Anyway:

I am having problems getting anything on the web to work.  I am sure I am
missing a step.  Can the programs work of any space hosted by a web company?
( I am trying to get the demo's included in D5 Pro to run.)

Could someone give me quick rundown on the steps to run something on the
web?

(My final goal is to view/ insert records for a database on the web)

Thanks you in advance,

Ryan

Can you be a bit more specific? Which example are you trying to run? Exactly
what problem are you having? What Web server are you using?

borland.public.delphi.internet is a placeholder (i.e. a node) for the
groups under it like borland.public.delphi.internet.isapi-webbroker. You
must post to one of these lower groups.

First, a Delphi program can only run on an Intel/Windows system. Second,
the ISP must give you permission to run your app. Very few will let you
deploy an ISAPI DLL because there is potential for it to bring down the
entire machine if not written correctly. More will let you deploy a CGI
exe but even those are few and far between and most will charge extra
for this privilege.

There are two "Delphi-friendly" ISPs I know of off-hand:
