Python
Jean-Francois Pieronne – the same guy that ports MySQL to VMS – has ported Python to run on VMS as well, with a bunch of libraries. He has been investigating a port of a kind of Wiki to VMS and in that project, he created two disk containers to ease the installation of the required libraries, Python amnd the Python-based Wiki called MoinMoin.
I couldn’t resist and had to install them, certainly when Mark Daniel released his Python RunTime Engine for WASD (as a dot-zero release – he warned us!).
After some shifting around in the configuration and doing something I should have done from the beginning when seeting things up (namely: reading the installation guide properly – I completely overlooked one commandprocedure to be run if the installation was to be done system wide, not just for the rpocess…) I got the test-scripts working.
Running the Wiki would now be easy – but I lacked the time to do it.
Web backup
This weekend, I made an image backup of the web disk. Just in case.
