Hello,
I'm working on a web front-end for our build system. One of the
things I need to do is allow the user to start a lengthy build in the
back and continue using the web page.
Unfortunately, I can't find out how to do it. I can start the
build, but the web page won't complete loadinguntil the build
finishes (which considering it can take up to 5 hours, it's
not a good thing ;-)
I'm using Apache 1.3 under Win2k and PHP 4.2.3. I tried all
combinations of exec ("cmd /c start build"), even doing
exec ("cmd /c start build.bat"), where build.bat contains
start build. Nothing. The web page always waits for the command
to finish.
I'm running PHP as an Apache module. I tried running it as
CGI but had no luck getting PHP to work at all.
Any suggestions? It's the most important thing this front
end has to do. Without it, there would be no point to the program
in the first place.
Switching to Linux, unfortunately, is not an alternative I can
consider right now since the build itself needs to happen
in Win2k.
Thanks.
