possible on a normal server? - 2005/12/27 02:05
hi, i really want to run a socket server on my site, but it's a basic shared-host account without telnet access. I managed to get a little tiny perl socket server running which can run completely via a browser, but god, i don't want to go anywhere near perl (the jackson pollock of programming languages).
What do i want to do with palabre? A clientside live-search textfield looking up a large serverside database. Exactly like google's lovely live-search thing. They do it with ajax, but on a tiny budget i think flash and python is the way to go.
perhaps i'll do it with php and live with the 30sec time limit, but i thought python would be the elegant method.
Anyway, does anyone know if palabre can be installed easily on a virutal host? ie. without telnet, and started and stopped by the client.
**thanks** mikey
