Greetz!
How to render .rhtml page from a Ruby .cgi file?
I mean, there are:
## — index.cgi — #!/usr/bin/ruby puts “Content-type: text/html\n” WHAT\_GOES\_HERE? ‘mypage.rhtml’
and:
## — mypage.rhtml — The time is: \<%=Time.now%\>
Is it just sleepless night or what?
How to make it work? 🙂

template = File.open( “mypage.rhtml”, “r” ) { |f| f.read }
mypage = ERb.new( template )
result = mypage.result
puts result

Erm, of course you also would need a
require ‘erb’
In there somewhere.

Of course! Thank you Mike, that’s exactly what I was looking for.
