In general, I think I know how its supposed to work. I use
mod_ngobjweb from 
SOPE to serve sogo and ogo on my openbsd boxen. 
Some days ago, I stumbled across IntarS, found it
interesting, and I wanted 
to play with it. I got it compiled and it starts on my
OpenBSD test box, but 
now the apache module is missing ;)
On the other hand, I think I could just use mod_ngobjweb,
and I guess it 
would do the job too.

The apache2 module is only a cgi program that needs to be
placed in a 
cgi-bin directory? I thought it is a apache module like
mod_rewrite or 
mod_proxy.

I tried, but your server refuses to talk to me, he has the
opinion that the 
IP address of my server is "dynamic". Well, it
somehow resides in a dynamic 
address range, and the host name looks like a dynamic one,
but the address 
is just not dynamic. Don't know if you could whitelist my
mail servers IP 
address. I have this problem with a few others too, but my
provider is a bit 
too *** to fix that, however that does not really belong
here ;)

Cool... I guess that would put be me on the scene...

[original authors and my partners]

out of curiosity... how did you stumble over IntarS?

I currently maintain the GNUstep versions on which IntarS
builds (and
it's actually a rather old and slightly patched pre-make 2.0
version we
are currently using in production.

(see Local/Projects/Scripts/IntarS/build.sh)
SVNREV_MAKE=23034
SVNREV_BASE=23034
SVNREV_GDL2=23034
SNVREV_GSWEB=23034
[pathches are in the same directory]

We have some install bases on other GNU/Linux derivatives,
but have
focused on Debian to minimize the surprises in complex
environments.

The "good" news is, that these revisions should
also work with an
Apache1 Adaptor.  Now if your goal is the play with IntarS,
I'd highly
recommend those versions.

The reason we haven't upgraded is that Dave Wetzel has
introduced some
slight (internal API) incompatibilities wrt to the
WebObjects version
which we also have to support and we have some assumptions
in IntarS
about the GSWeb and the GSWAdaptor configuration which I
need to tend to
as soon as my customer projects allow me to do that.

Now I don't think the GNUstep discuss list is necessarily
the right
forum to give IntarS support so I would suggest that you can
ask me
privately.

Yet if your Goal is an Apache1/FastCGI Adaptor than I don't
think IntarS
is the right project for that  and
would suggest to build on the new
adaptors and focus on Apache2

Cheers,
David
