Re: [bug-myserver] MyServer based web server Stack

[Giuseppe Scrivano]

Hello Luciano,

I will write you a more detailed e-mail in the next days.

The janus-software stack is based on a VERYYY old version of MyServer,
many things were changed so the first step would be to use a more recent
version of MyServer, 0.10 should be fine.  I have fixed a couple of bugs
in the past days in the URI mapping mechanism, and I expect to push a
new release in the next month; but PHP pages that don't use PATH_INFO
should work as expected.

What exactly do you expect from us? :-)  Is there something we can do
with it?

Cheers,
Giuseppe
