- Subject: [docbook-apps] Converting docbook on the fly with apache
Hello all,
I have a set of documents in docbook format on a website, which are regularly
updated(a script fetches from a CVS server). I don't want to serve static,
generated html files(due to practical reasons) but dynamically. All of the
files are separated(articles) and are hence relatively fast to parse.
I want to serve html files, instead of DocBook+XSL, and hence must convert
them on the fly.
I have some questions concerning this:
* Is there an (apache) mechanism which caches this conversion? (only exports
when the file have changed)
* The web server is probably running apache 1.3, and without Java support(but
PHP is there for sure. What solution is suitable for my conditions?
Eventually, server upgrades are possible so feel free to suggest solutions
outside above outlined scope.
I have practically no experience with Apache, so I can use document pointers
into that cathedral. Especially, on the "serving chain", and architecture in
general. I need to be able to figure out if php code is expanded before XML
conversion, for example.
Any ideas and suggestions are highly appreciated.
Frans
