I think there should be a waa1gate.exe somewhere under gateway/linux which
can be set up as a cgi.

But since WAA itself is a windows application you will need a Windows
server box anyway, so why not rund both on the same machine?

Thanks for the reply, but

how do I do that? I'm having problem telling my linux  Apache server to use 
waa1gate.exe. Even if waa would run under virtual box, how to redirect 
traffic from linux apache to VB, and where do I install waa1gate.exe

Regards A.

Starting point is of course the apache documentation at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/cgi.html

I never used Apache on Linux but I doubt it is much different from the
Windows version.

The webbrowser talks to your webserver, which starts the cgi, which in turn
contacts WAA (via a socket connection) to get the data requested by the
browser.

waa1gate.cfg tells the waa1gate.exe where the WAA is located (host and
port):

hostname = waaserver
port     = 1024
docroot  = ../../linux
smtphost = mail

If WAA and httpd are on the same machine hostname would be "localhost", in
your case it would be a real hostname or IP address (even if WAA would run
in VirtualBox)

The second part is the WAA start batch on the Windows machine where you
tell WAA on which port to listen to requests from the gateway (= web
server)

SET WAA_WORKERTHREADS=5
SET WAA_HOST=waaserver
SET WAA_PORT=1024
waa1srv.exe

Thank you Thomas,



I have successfully installed and run waa on linux using gateway from linux 
directory and wine for WAA. I will write and post a HOWTO to save some gray 
hair to others.



Regards Aleksander

Perfect - that is what we all wanted to hear 

Glad I could help

Hi Aleksander:
Have managed to write a HOWTO on running WAA on Linux?
I have the same issue that you were solving.
