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
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
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 that listens on the port
you provided in the user_conf.sh file.
direct your browser to
http://bane:9000
and you will see the login dialog of gendb 2.2
cd ~/CVS_HEAD/bioinfo/gendb_web ./apache2 stop
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
cd ~/CVS_HEAD/bioinfo/gendb_web/bin ./process_templates ../share/cgi-bin/
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
<nowiki> rsh bane cd ~/CVS_HEAD/bioinfo/gendb_web/share/logs tail -f gendb2.errors
