What exists for running .adp pages on apache? Is there a library that
supports ns_db, ns_conn, and other commands?

body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message. You can leave the Subject: field of your email blank.

It is hard to say whether you should shoot the guy, who wrote your app in
AOLserver, before you shoot yourself in the foot, or after. If after, he
might be able to patch up your foot and prevent you from shooting yourself in
the head, which is the next logical step after the foot.

One way to do what you want is to run Apache as a proxy to AOLserver.

The answer is- not really that easily
Yes some of the functionality exists in <aolserver>/lib/libnsd.so, but
not all of it
is exposed to being reused outside of aolserver.

This is similar to asking how do I run Servlets, without a servlet
container...

I'm sure there is always a way (it will take many nights of hacking
code) but I think a more important question is,
what are you getting from Apache that you can't get from AOLServer?

There might be a way to leverage what you require into it, if it doesn't
already exist.

You're basically asking, "How do I run anything and everything that
AOLserver can run in Apache?" As you may guess, there is no one size
fits all solution to that works out-of-box for everyone on all cases.

There are however, a whole bunch of different ways of achieving
various sorts of AOLserver and Apache integration (many of which
people have actually used for real), so you're going to get much
better answers if you take the trouble to actually tell us what you're
trying to accomplish and why.

What you seem to be most directly asking about was the Apache module
called "mod_nsd" or "mod_aolserver", which did exist and I'm told
worked, but it was never considered production-grade and hasn't been
maintained in many years. But, that is only one of many possible
solutions - depending on just what the real problem is you're trying
to solve.
