AJAX installation, need assistance · **Released**: 01-08-2007

I just got a dedicated server at Rackspace and they don't support AJAX, meaning that they will not do installations or provide tech support. It will work on the server according to them.

I have a linux server runnig Redhat Enterprise 4 and PHP and MySQL are currently being upgraded to the latest versions. If anyone can offer some advice as to installing AJAX on a remote server I would greatly appreciate it.

I am running Mac OS X so I can use terminal to access the server.

Thanks

Ehm... you can't "install" AJAX -- it's not a program. You shouldn't need anything other than what you've already got on your webserver to be able to use scripts that implement it.

That's good to know. So I guess since it's similar to javascript it just runs automatically? I thought it was odd that they said they didn't support it. Maybe they thought I wanted them to look over my scripts

It's an acronym for Asynchronous Javascript and XML -- meaning it's just Javascript executed Inline.

good to know. I'm glad though. One of the web based apps I need developed wouldn't work without it.

Thanks for the info.
