has anybody written any scripts to make apache web server work with synch user database?

This question might be better categorized in the "Web Tech" sub-board.

I haven't looked into that, but Apache only serves up web pages and files, it's not what connects your programming language to databases and such. What language are you developing your web stuff in (PHP, Python, etc.)? You would have to find a programming library made for that language that connects to
the Synchronet user database.

What is it that you want to do where you want to make Apache work with Synchronet's user database? Do you want to create a web page/app that lists your BBS user information? Synchronet already has a built-in web server and
a set of web pages that can do this.

As I mentioned earlier, Apache itself wouldn't be thing that does this. You would have to find a module/plug-in for your web development language that
you use in conjuniction with Apache (PHP, etc.) that provides access to Synchronet's user database. I'm not sure that there is such a thing, but I could be wrong..

Yes, I want to make Mysql work with synchs user database, show user activity,......ect....I think I know where to start but I was hoping somebody has already taken care of this just to make it easier on me. lol. as far as synchs web server, there are a few issues that i have with it and for this reason I do not use it. I am using joomla right now for the templates. I can write a site with html or asp but i have to connect my website with the bbs. I have a seperate website for our company that we are developing right now, the address is www.thepconline.com. I am trying to make something really cool for my bbs. Obviously with just the two of us here there will not be enough feedback here to help me accomplish this goal. I am doing this to help get this message base going. I have started carrying it on Lightning BBS. But anyway I think you understand now what I am trying to do.


Thanks

I've actually wondered about Synchronet using a more standard database supporting SQL, for its user database & file database, etc.. I've also thought it would be nice to use a more standard web server (such as Apache) for Synchronet's pages. The problem is finding something that can tie them together.

Bet you a dollar Digital Man knows how... he suggested something along the lines of how to do this on DoveNet awhile back. Shame I can't find or remember the post. I'll go look again. Wasn't too specific anyway, but he let on that it was easily or mostly possible with already-existing html and javascript.

The problem I see with Synchronet's JavaScript and Apache is that Synchronet uses JavaScript as a server-side language, when JavaScript is more often used as a client-side scripting language (executed on the viewer's machine by their web browser). If you wanted to do that with Apache, you'd have to find an Apache module to let it understand .ssjs as a scripting language to execute on the server; and, you'd also have to set up the "glue" to provide Synchronet's JavaScript functions and tie it in with Synchronet's data.
