Re: can't run Spyce server

Rodney --

If you are just starting out with Spyce, be aware that it hasn't seen any development in several years.  It was a great project, but it didn't gain a large user base.

I've been looking for a Spyce replacement for years, and recently I've finally found Mako.  If you connect it to Apache, it does much of what Spyce did -- not everything, but quite a bit.  The Mako project has a good following and a strong developer base.  All by itself, it enables PHP-style/Spyce-style code in web pages.

For larger projects, I partner Mako with Django. Mako makes for a great front end, Django is a great back end.

You can get my Apache connector here: http://warp.byu.edu/site/content/813
