Installation
************
Insure that the development packages of the prerequisites
- libPropList-dev
- apache(2)-dev)
are installed. This includes the apxs tool and for Apache 2.x
also the apr-config tool.
The canonical form to build the adaptor is:
./configure
make
make install
You may want to use on of the following configure options:
--with-apxs=[FILE|PATH]
... to find the apxs tool to build the module. The default is apxs
but you may want to specify apxs2 for systems that have multiple
verions of apache installed. Or you may want to explicitly specify
the path of the tool.
--with-server-api=[Apache|Apache2]
... to explicitly specify the API as Apache or Apache2. The
default is determined by the output of running apxs -q TARGET
with the -v option. This output is grepped for "Apache/1"
and will set the API to Apache if found otherwise it will
assume Apache2. This option will be replaced dedicated
feature tests in the future.
--with-apr-config=[FILE|PATH]
... to find the apr-config tool for the Apaceh2 API. This is only
evaluated for the Apache2 API. The apr-config tool is used to
determine further compile and linker flags.
Configuration
*************
To configure your Apache server to use the gsweb module you have the
following options:
- run 'make httpdconfig' which will:
1. use the apxs -a option to edit the httpd.conf file
to add the LoadModule and AddModule directives
2. append an Include directive to the httpd.conf file
which includes the mod_gsweb.conf file generated during the build
and installed during module installation into apxs -q SYSCONFDIR.
OR
- Manually configure you httpd.conf (or correponding configure) by
adding the following lines in the appropriate places.
LoadModule gsweb_module [Path to APXS -q LIBEXECDIR]/mod_gsweb.so
AddModule mod_gsweb.c
Then you should include the mod_gsweb.conf configuration file
generated during the build:
Include /etc/httpd/mod_gsweb.conf
This file should contain the following GSWeb specific declarations:
GSWeb_ConfigFilePath /etc/httpd/conf/gsweb.conf
# The path to the configuration file used by the module
GSWeb_Alias /GSWeb
<Location /GSWeb*>
SetHandler GSWeb
</Location>
# If you use virtual hosts (Apache in localhost does not requiered them),
# you can Include this file within the virtual host definitions.
Then, create the file configuration file /etc/httpd/conf/gsweb.conf
which contains parameters for GNUstepWeb Applications:
The format is (there is an example for values below):
{
canDumpStatus = YES;
//YES if server can display status (URL: /GSWeb/status)
GSWExtensionsFrameworkWebServerResources =
"/GSW/GSWExtensions/WebServerResources";
//URL of GSWExtensions Framework WebServerResources directory
applications = {
ApplicationName = {
//URL of GSWExtensions Framework WebServerResources directory.
//It overides Global parameter
GSWExtensionsFrameworkWebServerResources =
"/GSW/GSWExtensions/WebServerResources";
//YES to say that this application can be listed when the
//adaptor don't find an application
canDump = YES;
instances = {
InstanceNumber = {
host = IPAdressOfTheComputerOnWhichRunTheApplication;
port = ThePortListenByTheApplication;
parameters = { transport= socket; };
};
};
};
};
};
Example values for a localhost use:
{
canDumpStatus = YES;
GSWExtensionsFrameworkWebServerResources =
"/GSW/GSWExtensions/WebServerResources";
applications = {
MyApp = {
canDump = YES;
instances = {
1 = {
host = 127.0.0.1;
port = 9001;
parameters = { transport= socket; };
};
};
};
};
};
Now, develop an application and run it !
