Re: Choosing an easy web development tool kit

I could be wrong, but if I recall correctly, setfenv no longer exists in 5.2!
Although Sailor's code would work on both 5.1 and 5.2 and is compatible with different webservers, I guess cgilua only works with Lua 5.1 then!

Try using Lua 5.1 instead? Or a different webserver, maybe? I really like using apache2 [1]+ mod_lua[2] but then it would require more steps!

Or maybe we should take a look into cgilua and fix this ;) I'll take a look at their repo and / or talk to the maintainer and see what can be done :)

Cheers!

After the valuable tips given by the friends:

1. I downloaded Luvit, but I couldn't understand exactly its working.
It seems to be an web server, but the examples are not very
self-explained;

2. I tried to download OpenResty, but there's something wrong with de
acessibility of the page and, for this reason, with my screen reader
(I am blind), I was not able to get the tar ball; this was the reason
why I have chosen the Github package;

3. I did all the procedures to run a Sailor application, having as a
result, finally, a page shown at my browser.

In other words, Sailor seems to be very good for me. It's simple to
install, to configure and to create a basic MVC structure.

I found this documentation page: http://sailorproject.org/?r=docs. Now
I think it's only to study what is said there.

Onbly to ratify if I am successful with Sailor, accessing
http://localhost:8080, I have got the following page:
