You'll probably want to put to put the WebCatalogEngine files in your cgi-bin while the examples and such can live in your server's DocumentRoot.Another thing is to set up a handler in httpd to call webcat when the browser requests a WebDNA document. These should be documented in the package. If you use the Linux RPM, the installer will automatically add the appropriate directives to your httpd.conf file.Finally, like on a Mac, WebCat has to be launched at boot time. Again the RPM does this for you by placing a link to the WebCatalogCtl script in its init script directory (/etc/rc.d/init.d) If you're installing by hand you'll probably want to add a line like this to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:/path/to/WebCatalogCtl startMore advanced admins can integrate WebCatalogCtl into System V Init (which Red Hat and a number of other Linuxen use, as well as a number of other unixish systems) by placing an alias (or symbolic link in unix parlance) to WebCatalogCtl in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d (everybody) and /etc/rc.d/rc5.d (if you also run X Window) with a name like S90WebCatalog like this:ln -s /path/to/WebCatalogCtl S90WebCatalog.There are a number of other tips for beginners at http://www.linuxnewbie.org. Even if your chosen UN*X is MacOS X, many of the administrative tasks are similar enough for these notes to be of value.-- Andrew Vernon avernon@dramatols.net------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
