Comet (Ajax Push) in Godaddy dedicated server?

Question

I want to know if it's possible and I'm looking for tutorials to set it up.

APE website says that knowledge of JavaScript programming is sufficent to follow the tutorial however I haven't been able to puzzle even the first 2 lines of the tutorial.

I'm using Ubuntu. After downloading APE I have no idea what to do. I already set up SSH to access the server.

What should be my following steps or where can I find an easier to tutorial to use comet be it through APE or something else?

Assuming your GoDaddy server is running some flavor of Linux, I don't see any reason it would not be possible. I was just looking over the documentation and I am not clear on what part you are having trouble with. What Linux distribution are you using? Do you have SSH access?

If you have ssh access and a root account you should be able to just follow the instructions to get APE running on the default port.

If you are running a Debian dist (Ubuntu and others) it looks like you should download the source from Git and compile it. There are instructions for the compilation there. You can learn about what you need to do wth Git by search for "clone git".

If you can be more specific about what you are having trouble with, we can probably be more helpful. But ultimately you should be able to install this on any dedicated server without issue.
