+ The DXSpider CVS Changes erratum
+ Ian Maude, G0VGS, (ianmaude@btinternet.com)
+ Version 0.1 March 2001
+
+ A reference for CVS users of the DXSpider DXCluster program.
+
+ If you have any problems with a new CVS version please mail the
+ support list or come and report on WW Convers channel 9000 or from a
+ 44 host to sys2.pa4ab.ampr.org (44.137.44.16) port 6667 (IRC) and join
+ #9000.
+
+
+ The latest CVS is version 1.47. There are major changes going on
+ currently as the code is altered to allow DXSpider to be run under
+ Microsoft Windows.
+
+ There is a separate file for the Windows installation in the
+ /spider/html and /spider/txt directories so I will not include that
+ here.
+
+ For Linux users, there are several steps to complete to update from
+ version 1.46.
+
+ PLEASE READ ALL THE FOLLOWING BEFORE STARTING
+
+
+ +\bo tar up your existing perl and cmd directories and put them
+ somewhere safe so you can revert to the old version if necessary.
+
+ +\bo Do a CVS update in the normal way (cvs update -d)
+
+ +\bo cp /spider/perl/Listeners.pm to /spider/local and edit it as below
+
+ +\bo comment out the spdlogin line in inetd.conf and 'killall -HUP
+ inetd'
+
+ +\bo "make" the client in /spider/src (just in case it has changed)
+
+ +\bo restart the cluster and pray :-)
+
+ The Listeners file looks something like this ...
+
+
+
+ #
+ # Copy this file to /spider/local and modify it to your requirements
+ #
+ #
+ # This file specifies which local interfaces and ports you will be
+ # listening on
+ #
+ # You can add as many as you like
+ #
+
+ package main;
+
+ use vars qw(@listen);
+
+ @listen = (
+ # ["localhost", 7300],
+ # ["foo.dxcluster.net", 7300],
+ );
+
+ 1;
+
+
+ Alter the hostnames and ports to reflect you setup. This file is only
+ used for incoming telnet requests. You do not have to use hostnames,
+ it is quite ok to use IP addresses and it is also a matter of choice
+ whether or not you add the domain.
+
+ Here is an example of a working Listeners.pm file ..
+
+
+
+ @listen = (
+ ["localhost", 8000],
+ ["sys2", 8000],
+ ["apu", 8000],
+ );
+
+
+
+
+ Now all this is well and good if you have a static IP address. If
+ your IP address is dynamic then one line will do, like this ...
+
+
+
+ @listen = (
+ ["0.0.0.0", 8000],
+ );
+
+
+
+
+ From this version, the file client.pl has ceased to be needed. In
+ fact it has been removed. If you are still using client.pl in your
+ ax25d.conf then replace it with /spider/src/client.
