GenDBWiki/DeveloperDocumentation/PersonalWebServer

Here we describe how to set up a personal GenDB Webserver in the CeBiTec environment.

The following documentation relates to the Head version in the CVS

create a CVS direcory in your home directory e.g. 'CVS_HEAD'

cd
mkdir CVS_HEAD
cd CVS_HEAD

check out the following modules from the CVS make sure your CVS_ROOT and CVS_RSH are set

cvs co bioinfo/common
cvs co bioinfo/gendb
cvs co bioinfo/gendb_web
cvs co bioinfo/projectmanagement
cvs co bioinfo/GOPArc
cvs co bioinfo/BRIDGE

create a user_conf.sh file in the CVS_HEAD/bioinfo/gendb_web/share/www/ directory. This file must contain the two following lines

PORT=9000
CVS_SUBDIR=CVS_HEAD 

use a remote shell on a host like bane, hook or trillian

rsh bane

change to the gendb_web directory on that host and run the apache2 script with param start

cd ~/CVS_HEAD/bioinfo/gendb_web
./apache2 start

this will start an httpd process on that machine tha listens on the port you provided in the user_conf.sh file.

direct your browser to

http://bane:9000

and hopefully you will see the login dialog of gendb 2.2
