a question about CGI scripts in pb

Post by rory-games »

hi,
Can linux run pure basic .exe scripts?
I have an apache linux server and a local server with maria DB and php7 for testing on my windows machine. Do I have tp pull out the linux vps I have to compile the pure basic CGI scripts for inux, or will I be able to use the .exe ones I can make on pure basic?
This is kind of a stupid question, but I honestly don't know.

If you can't compile your programme on Linux, you can try the software: Wine

Wikipedia Wine (software)
Wine (recursive backronym for Wine Is Not an Emulator) is a free and open-source compatibility layer that aims to allow computer programs (application software and computer games) developed for Microsoft Windows to run on Unix-like operating systems....

(not tested for CGI but tested with some others softwares)

You need linux to compile for linux.
