create a CVS direcory in your home directory e.g. 'CVS_HEAD'
 
 
<pre><nowiki>
cd
mkdir CVS_HEAD
cd CVS_HEAD
</nowiki></pre>
 
check out the following modules from the CVS
make sure your CVS_ROOT and CVS_RSH are set
 
 
<pre><nowiki>
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
</nowiki></pre>
 
 
create a user_conf.sh file in the CVS_HEAD/bioinfo/gendb_web/share/www/
directory. This file must contain the two following lines
 
<pre><nowiki>
PORT=9000
CVS_SUBDIR=CVS_HEAD
</nowiki></pre>
 
 
PORT defines the port where your webserver process will wait for requests (here 9000 is an example which is to be substituted by a port-number on your machine).
Make sure this port is not used yet. The CVS_SUBDIR states the directory relative to your home-directory where the bioinfo-subdirectory can be found.
In this example it is CVS_HEAD.
 
Use a remote shell on a host like bane, hook or trillian
 
<pre><nowiki>
rsh bane
</nowiki></pre>
 
 
change to the gendb_web directory on that host and
run the apache2 script with param start
 
 
<pre><nowiki>
cd ~/CVS_HEAD/bioinfo/gendb_web
./apache2 start
</nowiki></pre>
 
 
this will start an httpd process on that machine that listens on the port
you provided in the user_conf.sh file.
 
direct your browser to
 
 
<pre><nowiki>
http://bane:9000
</nowiki></pre>
 
 
and you will see the login dialog of gendb 2.2
 
 
<pre><nowiki>
cd ~/CVS_HEAD/bioinfo/gendb_web
./apache2 stop
</nowiki></pre>
 
 
will stop the webserver. Do not forget to restart the webserver if Perl
Modules are updated. Chnages in cgi scripts and templates will get updated automatically
 
If you made changes to cgi.template file in gendb_web/share/cgi_bin do not forget
to process these files with the process_templates script
 
 
<pre><nowiki>
cd ~/CVS_HEAD/bioinfo/gendb_web/bin
./process_templates ../share/cgi-bin/
</nowiki></pre>
 
 
to see what errors are produced check the error logs in
~/CVS_HEAD/bioinfo/gendb_web/share/logs. A convenient way to
analyze current errors is the use of tail -f <logfile>.
Make sure you start tail on the same host that the httpd process runs on,
otherwise delayed results are to be expected
 
 
<pre><nowiki>
rsh bane
cd ~/CVS_HEAD/bioinfo/gendb_web/share/logs
tail -f gendb2.errors
